About This Home
One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Welcome to the Lake House, a rare lakefront gem nestled in the beautiful and quaint town of Lake Helen — a peaceful place to call home. This charming property offers a true retreat with clear, spring-fed Lake Helen, perfect for canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and fishing. Lake Helen Park also known as Royal Park, offers a bandstand, boat launch, fishing areas, picnic areas and walking/hiking trails. Nearly every room in the home provides a stunning view of the lake, and the expansive 20x40 ft back deck is the perfect place to relax and enjoy breathtaking sunsets each evening.
Situated on a spacious 0.63-acre lot, this home features 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 1,950 heated square feet, all wrapped in a cozy cabin-style feel with rich wood accents throughout. The primary bedroom boasts vaulted ceilings, a large walk-in closet, and sliding doors that open directly to the back deck — complete with an electric hookup ready for your future hot tub. The primary bathroom has been beautifully remodeled with a large walk-in shower, and the family room features a warm and inviting fireplace.
This home has seen thoughtful updates, including a new metal roof in 2023, concrete siding added in 2024, a new hot water heater in 2025, and new insulated windows and doors for improved energy efficiency. The attached 1,000-square-foot garage offers plenty of space for two cars plus a large workshop with built-in cabinets — ideal for hobbies, a studio, or even band practice. There’s even a rare root cellar perfect for storing canned goods or wine.
Located just minutes from the local farmers market and beloved city park, this property offers not just a home but a lifestyle. It’s a rare opportunity to own a true lakefront home on Lake Helen, where charm, nature, and comfort come together in one unforgettable setting.
