Get close to nature with this quaint, airy waterfront home. Look through the picture windows and you'll feel like you're in the lake. Wood siding adds to the "Walden Look".
Bring offers quick - owner underwater!

Nice picture, but I hate to see real estate in trouble like that. There are so many places around that will not be there in 50 years. Get em and enjoy them while you can I guess.

Great post.
