Built in 2015, this detached bungalow has a functional open-concept layout, with a kitchen featuring custom birch cabinetry, a recently added island, and a pantry. The living area includes a custom-built-in entertainment unit, while floor-to-ceiling pine walls, custom solid-pine doors, and quality laminate flooring lend the interior plenty of cottage character. The back porch includes a convenient laundry closet. Outside, the 12 x 32 rear deck overlooks the pond, creating a private space to unwind, entertain, or enjoy the view. With direct pond access, you can launch a boat right from your own property, making it easy to spend the day boating, fishing, or exploring the water. A covered front veranda spanning the length of the home provides another comfortable outdoor living space, while the landscaped front yard with hydroseed, a baby barn, small storage shed, rear yard vehicle access, and room to build a garage add even more flexibility. A mini-split heat pump installed last year provides efficient heating and cooling. Additional features include 200-AMP electrical service, a completed home inspection for added peace of mind, and negotiable furnishings to make your move even easier. With no property taxes and only approximately $175 annually in local fees, this property offers an affordable opportunity to enjoy waterfront living in one of Mahers' most popular cottage areas.
