Property Description
Bring your vision and your tool belt. This 1928 Dutch Colonial on Dawson's Mill Pond is a fixer-upper's dream — sold strictly as-is, and it will ask for real love and attention in return for a setting you cannot otherwise buy at this price. Affordable water view on a pond connecting to all-sports Sylvan Lake and Otter Lake — the boat, the kayaks and the paddleboards all get their day. At the end of a quiet dead-end cul-de-sac backing to the green space of Beaudette Park, it feels like private waterfront. It is not deeded; the shoreline belongs to the park. What you get is a view that stays and waterfront docks and deck w/ a view that never changes. Original character throughout: gambrel roof, hardwood floors, fireplace, and a rear family room lined with windows framing the water. Two Br's home that lives like three, unfinished basement, updated furnace, water heater and electrical service. Excellent rental history. Endless upside for the owner-occupant willing to put in the work.
