Home Overview

Description

Tucked along the rivers edge, right where the water rushes over the dam, this 3,000 sq. ft. home or cottage captures the true essence of cottage country living. The steady roar of the falls becomes the soundtrack to your days, blending perfectly with the natural surroundings. Inside, the main level offers three bedrooms, a full bath, and a bright open-concept great room, dining area, and kitchen. Expansive windows frame the water like living art, while the walkout to the deck makes every season feel a little closer. Direct access from the garage to the kitchen makes bringing in groceries on rainy or snowy days effortless. The lower level expands the possibilities: a spacious bedroom, private large office, full bath, and a large family room with an adjoining dining/games area. Added perks include a versatile laundry space (with room to add a kitchen), a cold cellar, and a large storage room. With its generous layout, this level could transform into a full in-law suite, multi-generational retreat, or recreational haven. Bonus feature: nothing says cottage comfort like a crackling wood-burning fireplace, and this home has one on each level to keep you cozy all season long. Outside, a generous flat lawn is perfect for barbecues, horseshoes, and summer gatherings, while a private courtyard offers a peaceful retreat ideal for reading or gathering around the chiminea on crisp evenings. The property boasts 160 feet of private frontage on the Gull River, with a granite bottom and deep waters. Swim to the natural sandbar for sunny afternoons of laughter, or launch from your dock with direct boat access to Shadow Lake. Waterski, tube, paddle at sunset, or simply drift on a tube, your adventures are limitless. This is more than a cottageits a place of memories, possibilities, and year-round enjoyment. (id:39198)
