About this home
Classic cottage charm meets contemporary comfort in this thoughtfully updated 1930s year-round retreat. This cozy homestead feels larger than expected thanks to thoughtful renovations, smart storage, and a fresh blend of familiar cottage colors with modern touches. Contemporary kitchen cabinetry pairs beautifully with plush, inviting chairs in front of the fireplace and carefully chosen accessories that create a warm, relaxed atmosphere. Built-in closets and charming window seats blend seamlessly into the walls, maximizing space without sacrificing character. Previously used as an Airbnb, the cottage was rented year-round, offering potential for continued rental use or your lakeside escape. Just a few short steps away is access to a deeded beach area at Lakeland Beach Club. Lake George, is a 95-acre lake in Wales, MA. Love antiquing? The world-famous Brimfield Antiques Show is just 10 minutes away! Whether you're seeking a cozy getaway, a distinctive year-round home, or a special lakeside retreat, this little gem delivers charm & comfort.
