The grounds are equally impressive, with a charming yet substantial sized barn and loft space offering endless potential. Plus a full-size, fenced and lighted tennis court for year-round recreation, while the pond and surrounding acreage create a rare sense of seclusion. Enjoy convenient lake access at the end of E. North Street—perfect for swimming, kayaking, and embracing the outdoor lifestyle this exceptional property brings.
