It feels like a place where writers want to write, painters want to paint and mornings are meant to be spent with coffee overlooking the water. And then there is the McDREAMY porch—a large lakeside 3-season porch so close to the lake that the water almost feels like part of the room. Tucked just outside city limits, the property offers lower property taxes while keeping you close to Walker’s new grocery store, local pubs, dining, boutique shops, city park and more.

An attached 2-stall garage provides plenty of room for vehicles and lake toys, and the paved driveway adds everyday convenience. The location is hard to beat. Spend summer days relaxing and playing at the Long Lake sandbar or head over to the public beach on May Lake for an afternoon in the sun.

This would make a wonderful Hunting or Fishing Outpost in the Lake Country ....! Near Hackensack and located between Birch and Ten Mile lakes, the Historic Hiram Town Meeting Hall was built in 1973, sits on 2 nicely wooded acres, ( Of which, approx 1/2 acre, or 21,780 sq ft is high ground), with a mixture of Oaks, Aspen and a couple of large Norway Pines on either side of the building site. No well or running water. Currently there exists, an "Outhouse or Privy", that would need, (more than likely), to be vacated due to the lack of height above mottled soils, which would be considered Non-conforming. This could be made part of any offer, as a condition of the purchase. 60 amp breaker service panel with (4) 6 foot Electric Baseboard heaters, plus an old Non- UL listed wood stove are the primary heat. Low maintenance exterior including metal fascia and soffits. **Full disclosure: The Sellers have indicated to me that it was determined the exterior sheathing under the vinyl siding is an asbestos fiber board material.** **Sellers may consider a short term Contract for deed.*** This was used year-round for Township meetings, however it has the look and feel of a modest seasonal Cottage in the North Country !!
