About This Home

As of October 2024

BUTLER CHAIN Opportunity! Beautifully updated cottage with 50 feet of lake frontage on Lake Down, 0.29 Acre lot. Located in Windermere on the East side of Lake Down, zoned for Olympia High School, with quick access to amenities nearby yet you'll feel miles away sitting on the boat dock enjoying southwestern sunset views. Boat lift and jet-ski skid lift are ready to go. The house is impressive inside with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, hardwood floors, surround sound, ceiling fans, beautifully tiled bathrooms, and wood ceiling detail. French doors separate a den off the back with great views out to the lake. A wrap-around deck off the back is screened in, complete with Hot tub. The lot itself is approximately 210 feet long, with 130 feet of that between the rear of the house and the water. This house could be added on to quite easily or removed and a 2-story new home built in the middle of the lot for great lake views in an amazing location on the Butler Chain. Make it yours today and start living the good life.
