About This Home

As of July 2025

One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Perfect retirement retreat, a romantic getaway, or a cozy weekend escape, this charming 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home on a full acre delivers comfort, character, and beautiful lakefront living.

Inside, you’ll find warm knotty pine barn doors on rustic wrought iron tracks, along with durable laminate and tile flooring throughout. The layout is both functional and inviting, offering a relaxed setting for everyday living or entertaining. A full-length screened back porch spans the rear of the home and overlooks the serene waters of Lake Star—perfect for morning coffee, evening relaxation, or weekend gatherings. There’s also ample room to enclose part of the porch if you’d like to create a third bedroom or bonus space.

The exterior is just as impressive, featuring a large two-car garage, a separate storage shed, and plenty of space for your RV, boat, or other recreational toys. With one full acre of land and no rear neighbors, you’ll enjoy peace, privacy, and endless possibilities—all while still being close to town.

This hidden gem won’t last long. Schedule your private showing today and come see what lakeside living is all about.
