Built in 1994 (30 years old), the property is well-maintained but remains largely in its original state.

The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 12500, living area = 2566.
Situated directly on Baker’s Pond, this property offers rare water frontage combined with panoramic mountain and lake views from nearly every room, providing a unique and serene setting.
The oversized 12,660 sqft lot is exceptionally flat and usable, a rare find in mountain terrain that offers significant outdoor space, privacy, and easy access to the pond.
The assigned middle school carries a lower performance rating of 3/10, which may be a concern for families prioritizing high-ranking educational districts.
