This is a truly lovely spot on pristine Lake Willoughby, where you’ll enjoy 69’ of private sandy beach and outstanding sunsets. Built in 1974, the 2-level A-frame home, with its clean lines, is the essence of mid-century modern, from the stacked stone fireplace to the wood-clad walls and ceilings to the open staircase. In the cathedral-ceilinged main living area, a picture window flanked by glass sliding doors brings the natural beauty in. The kitchen is small but mighty, with a 5-burner gas range and Bosch dishwasher to make cooking and clean-up a breeze. Even better, fire up the grill on the concrete patio and dine alfresco lakeside. The bedroom is spacious enough for a king-size bed and has a closet to match. A full bath and an open room, ideal for an office, complete this level. A high ceiling combined with skylights and sliders on each end of the loft make the space both cozy and bright. A small balcony overlooks the front yard, while on the opposite end a large balcony provides unobstructed views of Willoughby and the surrounding mountains. Outside, the lawn is plenty big enough for games and pets, but not so big that you’ll spend a lot of time maintaining it. Framed by lush perennial gardens, the detached garage is ideal for storing toys and seasonal items. Additional outdoor storage areas are located within the house’s knee walls. Properties on Willoughby don’t stay on the market long. The whole summer is in front of you, and this lake home will make it even better.
