About This Home

As of June 2026

Welcome to this newly renovated lakefront retreat! Nestled on a unique lot at the end of a private road, offering exceptional privacy, with 85 ft. of picturesque lake frontage and a desirable sandy lake bottom, this property blends tranquility with modern convenience and sweeping panoramic lake views that stretch across the water. Whether you're seeking a peaceful getaway or a strong investment opportunity, this home combines the charm of a cozy retreat with contemporary amenities in a truly unforgettable setting. The main house features three bedrooms(two upstairs and one on the first floor) and one full bath. The living room offers a warm and inviting atmosphere with a wood-burning fireplace and flanked by built in bookcases. Above and beyond the main home, the property includes a two-story, three-bay garage with additional living space. On the first floor of the garage, there is a studio/bonus area offering a flexible space for guests, recreation, or potential rental use. This space includes a full bath with shower, making it fully functional as a private guest suite or income-producing unit. Also located on the first floor is a laundry room that can service either the studio unit or the upstairs apartment. Upstairs, you'll find a plush apartment with beautiful lake views perfect for extended family quests, or income potential. The apartment also features a built in Murphy bed to comfortably accommodate additional guests while maximizing space, along with a full bathroom with tub. A glass-railed balcony with an exterior spiral staircase leads down to the yard, adding both charm and functionality. This lakefront property delivers a rare combination of privacy, versatility, and built in income potential or the option to enjoy the additional space entirely for yourself. With its sandy shoreline and end-of-the road setting, it's a standout opportunity for lake living. Combined sqr. feet 2901
