About This Home
This charming lakefront cottage on the south end of Deep Creek Lake is a rare find. Nestled on a beautiful, gradually sloping lot that leads to one of the best lakefronts on Shoreline Drive, and indeed on the entire lake. The comfortable living space has ample potential for renovation or new construction to create your dream lake home. Enjoy the serene views and peaceful surroundings while being close to local amenities and outdoor activities. The property spans both sides of Shoreline Drive, providing additional space and privacy, with potential for septic expansion or additional building. Conveniently located near the state of the art Thousand Acres Golf Course, this is an excellent opportunity for those looking to invest in a prime lakefront property with endless possibilities. Shoreline Drive is known for its private, quiet, and serene atmosphere, with no through traffic. Many residents and visitors appreciate the peaceful environment and the privacy it offers. The road is often lined with homes that enjoy scenic views and a tranquil setting, making it a desirable location for those seeking a calm and quiet place to live or visit. The area offers many marked hiking and cross county trails for the outdoor enthusiast.
Inside, the home boasts wood flooring on the entire upper level rooms and linoleum on bathroom. The living and dining areas feature cherry paneling and a wood stove, adding to the ambiance. A whole house attic exhaust fan and an ultrasonic water purifier enhance comfort and convenience. The finished and carpeted basement provides additional sleeping space or a playroom, along with a workroom complete with shelving and a workbench.
With only two owners and never having been a rental, the property has a history of gentle use. The circular driveway offers plenty of parking, with electricity/outlets available in a dedicated parking space, originally used for an RV but potentially upgradeable for electric vehicles. Mature trees and flowering shrubs adorn the lot, and accessibility is a breeze with just one step to the main level. Additional features include a newer boat shed and a garage suitable for auto or small power boat storage, with ample space for a sailboat, windsurfers, and a power boat during the winter.
This lakefront cottage is perfect for those who appreciate nature and tranquility while still being close to modern conveniences
