Perched above the water with expansive, unobstructed lake views, this charming two bedroom, one-bath lake cottage offers the best of lake living. Town records show 707 sq.ft. but with the additional enclosed porch it lives like an~1100 sq.ft. home. Large windows create the feeling of living on the lake, offering front-row views of swans, roaming wildlife, and ever- changing seasonal scenery-from skaters gliding across the frozen lake in winter to kayaking and fishing all summer and New England's spectacular fall foliage. The beach, with kayak storage and floating dock is at the bottom of the street- lake association membership is optional. Inside, the spacious primary bedroom is surprising with it size, large closet and a walk up attic for potential future expansion or great storage. The original stone fireplace adds character to the living room. The floors have been redone, the interior was painted, and baseboards added. Set on a rare- for the area, flat lot, the property offers ideal space for outdoor enjoyment and flexibility for future expansion or rebuilding. Yard boundaries are the railroad ties and stone wall past the big tree; the driveway side is the step. Many recent upgrades, include updated electric, a new heat pump and ductwork, repaved driveway and more. Located in a tight-knit community known for neighborhood gatherings and its own music festival.Rainbow Lake offers a unique blend of charm, nature, and connection with close by Town open space for hiking
