About This Home

As of December 2015

This is a short sale and compensation will be 1/2 of what the bank will pay. Rare opportunity to own lakefront property right next to a beach.
The stone fireplace is fabulous. Hardwood floors in most of the house. Large deck (14x18) off back of the house for amazing water views and relaxing.
There is a full basement as well. Cute, charming and this house will not last!
