Year round, furnished lake home provides a comfortable base to enjoy one of the area's better freshwater bodies. Constructed in 1998, this custom built residence provides open living on the 1st floor. The focal point of the 1st floor may be the handsome granite fireplace and its unique matching granite floor surround. Oak floors lead into the living room and open dining room & kitchen. Lovers of ''olde'' will appreciate the kitchen's antique, wood-fired cookstove. Off of the dining room is a 3 season, glassed-in sleeping porch. A full bath finishes the 1st floor. Upstairs, you'll find knotty pine floors in both the living area, guest bedroom and in the spacious, lake view master bedroom. In fact, all rooms except for the guest bedroom & bathroom enjoy lake views. The most in-demand glacial lake in Hancock County outside of Acadia National Park, Branch Lake is noted for its clear water and dynamic fish population. For generations Branch has been a retreat from the faster paces life can demand. The owned shore here is easily accessible and will offer excellent recreation when a seasonal dock is installed. A large flagstone patio looks to the lake and is perfect for grilling and relaxing on summer days. Double stained cedar siding brings long term durability. Two small sheds provide storage for firewood, lake toys and yard tools.
