Listing broker remarks

There is something special about life on Lake Attitash. This charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage has that comfortable, easygoing feel that just fits its setting. The large living room gives you plenty of space to relax and gather, and the small sun porch, not included in the square footage, is a sweet extra spot to enjoy your morning coffee or take in the lake. Outside, you have your own lake frontage, dock and patio, making it easy to spend your days on the water and your evenings outside. A full basement offers tons of storage along with plenty of potential for whatever you may need. The home also has a newer roof, which is always a nice bonus. Lake Attitash is one of those neighborhoods that feels tucked away and peaceful, while the Amesbury address means you still get everything that makes living here so great. Downtown, restaurants, shops, breweries, trails and commuter routes are all within easy reach. A lakeside cottage, your own piece of the lake, and a setting that makes it easy to slow down and enjoy where you live.— RE/MAX Bentley's
