"A step back in time".....Properties like this are few and far between! This classic cottage on Little Glen Lakes south shore has incredible charm inside and out, with board and batton siding, flagstone patio and walkways, lush perennial gardens, cut stone chimney and fire place, wide Ponderosa pine paneling, built-in book cases and cabinetry, a lovely screened in porch, vintage fixtures, and so much more! The first owners originally built what was a bunk house/cabin in 1938, added a summer kitchen, porch, and bathroom, followed by a two story west addition in 1947, to accommodate 3 bedroom, two bathrooms, family room, all in keeping with the original architectural style. Having changed hands as "recently" as 1968, the estate of the second owners have decided to offer this unique property to it's third successor stewards. Might this be your legacy property?
