About This Home

As of July 2025

When you enter this 3 bedroom 2 bath lake home, you feel an instant sigh of relief! The incredible view from the large windows on the back of the house facing the lake simply say "it's time to relax". You can leave the hustle and bustle of your work day/life and enjoy the beauty of the view and the comfort of this lake home. You enter a large foyer, looking thru the dining room.kitchen into the family room then to the lake. The split floor plan provides a great primary suite with a large bedroom (with that same view) a large walk in closet and large primary bath. The other two bedrooms are great for kids or company alike, both off the living area, there is room for everyone to gather. The yard is naturalized with low maintenance, but room for some pops of color with flowers, bulbs or shrubs. The walk to the covered slip dock is gentle sloping to rip rapped shoreline and an arched gangway to your slip dock with boat lift and swim platform. The water depth is awesome as you are ON the big water with easy access to restaurants, marinas and all your lake friends. The water is clear and great for swimming, floating or just sitting on the dock and enjoying the views. If this is not enough to get you hooked, the house has a heated and cooled utility room on the lower level and a full basement. And if that's not enough you need to check out the HUGE detached garage. It has a workshop, 3 large roll-up doors one personal door and all the "man cave", "storage space", "playroom space" any one could imagine. Tall ceilings and eave heights make it a perfect place to hang out as the temp is always cool. And lastly, There is room to park your RV for those times when you may need additional space. This house has it all. Don't miss this opportunity, come see it today! Book your showing appointment on showingtime online. You are going to love it!
