Located just a few minutes from the Tilton Outlets and Tilt'n Diner, at the gateway to the Lakes Region, 2 Woodlawn Avenue affords easy access to the highway and groceries and other amenities.  You also don't have to travel far to enjoy outdoor fun--Knowles Pond Conseration Area and Highland Mountain Bike Park are just around the corner; Mill City Whitewater Park are down the road in Franklin; and there are plenty of snowmobile trails nearby as well.

The house sits back from the street and is ringed on three sides with trees, so you get a pleasant degree of privacy without feeling isolated.

Step inside and step up to the first floor and you'll see the home has been extensively renovated--new vinyl plank flooring and new carpet in the bedrooms, new trip, fresh paint, and a fully-updated kitchen and bathroom.

The living room features a fireplace (purely decorative for now; more on that below) with a wide-pine accent wall and a sunset-facing picture window to frame every evening as a work of art.

The kitchen features a blend of modern cabinets, lighting, and appliances with the natural look of butcher block and a deep farmhouse sink.  The dishwasher and microwave are brand new, and the electric range and refrigerator are fairly new as well.  There are two lazy susan corner cabinets for maximum economy of space.

You can dine inside or outside, since the dining area opens right out to the rear deck (which needs a little love).

The bathroom had been renovated several years ago, with a granite-topped double vanity and step-in shower.

The primary bedroom is surprisingly spacious (15' x 11'), with jack-and-jill access to the bathroom.

The second bedroom (11.5' x 9.5') also includes a double closet.

Third bedroom (10' x 8.5')

If you head downstairs to the basement, your imagination will get a workout thinking of all the ways you can use the space.

At one end of the basement you get a cozy area with daylight windows and another (currently decorative) fireplace, as well as built-in shelving for books, beer can collections, trophies, or toys.

A note on the fireplaces.  Currently both fireplaces are purely decorative, but significant repairs to the exterior chimney were completed in case a buyer wishes to add a wood stove or pellet stove, in which case only a liner would be required (along with the stove).  Given the advantages and disadvantages of each type of stove, the seller did not want to install one or the other and thought it best to leave that decision to a buyer.  A buyer may also prefer to make one or the other a working wood fireplace again, which would require more significant repairs to the interior chimney and firebox.

This is a big, blank slate, ready for whatever your lifestyle desires—workout gym, TV or gaming retreat, music studio, hobby cavern, billiards room and speakeasy...it's up to you!

A quick note about that heater you see.  Although modest in appearance, it cranks out 40,000 BTUs according to the heating company that serviced it in mid-October.  Thta's enough to nominally heat a 2,000-square foot house, so you won't need to rely exclusively on the electric baseboard heat.

Down here you'll also find one of the most stylish laundry rooms in this price range, with coffered ceiling, bead board walls, and a large daylight window.  If you really wanted to add a touch of class you could build lovely folding shelf from some of the leftover butcher block material.

From the basement you also have walk-out access to the backyard and shed, and to an unheated, converted garage, which then leads out to the front screen porch.

You could use this former garage for storage, but you may not need to since you have pull-down access to a spacious attic on the first floor.

Perhaps the best "extra" feature of the home is the separate garage/workshop, which measures appx. 35' x 23'.  The previous owner used two-thirds of it as a woodshop, with piping for a dust-collection system, suspended outlets throughout, and plenty of workbenches; the other third seems to have been a mechanic's area, with compressed air lines inside and out.  But you can use it however you wish--boatbuilding loft, ceramic or sculpture studio, storage for big boy and girl toys...whatever you need.

With its location near civilization and recreation, its beautiful wooded setting, its proximity to the Lakes Region, the beautiful updates, and the versatile space in the house and the workshop, this home has a great deal going for it in a reasonable price range.  Schedule your showing and see for yourself!
