This wonderful lakefront property has only gotten better with age. It was originally a seasonal camp built in 1920, consisting of a summer kitchen, living area, bedroom and full bath. The current owners bought the property approximately 60 years ago. In 1989, they reconfigured the house and created a year-round residence with a gourmet kitchen, vaulted ceilings with skylights, beautiful paneling and huge windows to view the lake. They created an expansive dining room, enlarged the bedroom and updated the full bath, added the washer and dryer and created a small half bath. This entire space has several different heating options. A kerosene heater; a toasty warm wood stove; and a gas fireplace to enjoy while dining. Fast forward to 2007 and on to the next phase! The home was again expanded, this time toward the lake. This addition added a gracious formal living room with oversized windows and French doors to the side patio and access to the deck. A Master Suite was also created with an ensuite Master Bath and several good-sized closets, plus access to the deck. This section of the house has a Buderus liquid propane boiler and incorporates radiant, zoned heat throughout the rooms. Everything was expertly crafted and designed to take in the views of Hedges Lake. At this time a brand new 50-year asphalt shingle roof was installed and cement fiber siding was added to the home. The home has been meticulously maintained and all mechanicals have been routinely serviced or replaced. The wood-burning fireplace on the outside marble patio is actively used for barbeques. There is a retractable awning for extra shade. Behind the main house is a second house with 3 bedrooms, full kitchen, open great room and full bath. This house was built around 1930 and has its own electric service and hot water heater. The current owner Airbnb's this house every summer garnering @$12,000 in income. Behind the second house is a two-car garage/workshop with heat and electricity that was constructed in 1989. The septic is located between the main house and the second house. Between the second house and the garage is the 240' drilled well installed in 1972. All of this sits on a massive 3.44-acre lot, with over 1,000' of lake frontage. There is a sandy beach, stone bulkhead with stairs into the water, boat dock, fishing point, a large expanse of level lawn and grand old trees. Hedges Lake is a spring-fed lake with two outlets. The water is very clean. The lake at its deepest is 90' and the depth of the lake off the boat dock on this property is 25'. If one has a boat, they can join the Lake Association for boat launch access. Call us today for a private showing.
