Quintessential Lake Cottage - Step back in time and marvel at this absolutely darling summer cottage built in 1928. Now a year-round retreat, this incredibly charming 4 bed/2 bath home is located down a private, wooded drive on the desirable north shore, with 103' of pristine Green Lake frontage. Special features include a lakeside screened porch with glass garage doors that open to the summer breeze, a fully renovated guest house with 3 bedrooms + kitchen + living room + full bath + screened porch, as well as a 2 car detached garage, and a outdoor poured cement hockey/pickleball court. This exceptionally quaint lake cottage brings to mind a simpler time, when families gathered at the lake to connect with nature and most importantly, each other.
