Sweet! An just in time for the holidays. This cabin has been lived in year round and has a drilled well, septic and electric. The basement has been partially finished with the fixtures of a 3/4 bath but no wall coverings, so the square footage is not counted here. The tenant does not have internet so it is best to check on phone/tv and internet from the providers. The property is being divided from the parcel across the street and they may be purchased together. See MLS #5069927 This is a nice level to rolling lot with some open and some woods, has a 2 car garage, 2 enclosed porches and is well put together inside. The outside needs some finish work, so not likely to go a federal program. With some TLC this will be a fab get away. The town maintains the road to the house...such a benefit! This is a must see for location
