About This Home
Nestled in the woods on 1.2 acres, this charming partial log home offers privacy, character, and a beautiful natural setting just a short walk from Pokegama Lake and very close to a public boat launch. Inside, you’ll love the new custom kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and a built-in china hutch. The home offers warm wood accents, vaulted ceilings, main-floor laundry, and a spacious loft currently used as a kids’ gaming room. Cozy up to one of two beautiful stone-front gas fireplaces — one in the living room and one in the lower-level family room. Additional highlights include cedar storage closets, two cedar decks, city sewer, private well, and natural gas. In the winter and early spring, enjoy seasonal lake views through the trees. Outside, there is exceptional garage and storage space with a 24x32 garage plus a 32x40 pole building, offering plenty of room for 6+ vehicles, boats, toys, or workshop space. A wonderful wooded retreat near the lake!
