About This Home
As of August 2025Welcome to 1551 Lake Holiday Drive, a small but mighty lakefront retreat where the star of the show is your very own in-ground pool with stunning lake views. This charming home offers 2 bedrooms, 1 beautifully renovated bathroom, and a bonus bunk room in the walk-up basement - perfect for guests or extra sleeping space. The kitchen has been opened up and reconfigured to improve function including new appliances, new cabinet/drawer fronts, an added pantry, and a gorgeous quartzite peninsula with seating for 5. The cozy living room is centered around the fireplace with shiplap surround, adding warmth and character. New dark LVP flooring throughout is the perfect contrast to the light & bright walls. Laundry area in the basement offers storage and the potential to add a 2nd bath down the road. The oversized 1-car garage has an extra height door to store your boat and lake toys. But if you're at the lake, you want to be outside and that is where this home truly shines. Imagine spending your days poolside with the lake just steps away, hosting unforgettable summer parties, or enjoying peaceful mornings with coffee in hand, soaking in the view. The 12'x30' heated, in-ground pool (2023) isn't just an extra-it's the heart of this home and the ultimate spot to unwind, entertain, and make lifelong memories. It has a beach entrance which is perfect for little ones and the automatic cover provides an added layer of safety. With private lake access via a tiered deck system and permanent pier, an unbeatable fully-fenced backyard, and modern interior updates, this home is the total package, designed for low-maintenance living and maximum enjoyment. Don't miss this incredible opportunity to join the lake life for under $500K and feel what it's like to "Be On Vacation Every Day of the Year!"
