Island Pond is known as the place to be for snowmobiling, but it is so much more. With this property you'll be in a prime location to get in on all the fun this community offers year-round, from the annual Pond-A-Thon to fitness classes for kids and adults to the Friday Night Live summer concert series. Sitting on a .40-acre lot on the outskirts of town, this home features fresh paint throughout in a neutral color palette. The efficient L-shaped kitchen has a newer gas range and leads to the ¾ bath and laundry area, as well as to the spacious 3-season porch. There is a separate dining room and cozy living room. Up the stairs you will find 3 bedrooms with beautiful, refinished hardwood floors as well as a full bath. Most of the windows have been updated. The large, level lawn area is ideal for kids, pets, and gardening, plus there's a 23x10' garden shed great for storing equipment, tools, and toys. Situated ½ mile from the heart of town, so you're close to shopping and dining, Spectacle Pond and Island Pond for swimming, fishing, and boating, and Bluff Mountain and the Kingdom Heritage Trail for hiking. Drive 25 minutes to East Burke for skiing and riding at Burke Mountain and Kingdom Trails or take a 14-minute ride to the Silvio O. Conte National Fish and Wildlife Refuge, which offers acres to explore or hunt. Don't forget the miles of snowmobile trails - the snow has started falling and you can make the most of it when you own this home.
