About This Home

As of August 2025

ENJOY THE WATER EVEN BEFORE IT RETURNS. This Lake Sanford Road chalet doesn’t have to wait for the lakes to return, the water flows by right beneath its impressive steel seawall. This property is bursting with features that will make it your dream lake home. The home has been lovingly maintained by the same owners for 36 years. The home features almost all full depth wood floors or ceramic tile providing high quality and low maintenance. You will love the vaulted ceilings and wide open space of the main floor living room which also features a gas fireplace and a full wall of windows to let natural light flow in. All the major spaces (kitchen, living and master) also provide access to the impressive deck system, and all provide views of the lake and the gorgeous landscaping. The kitchen has been updated just a year ago with upgraded gleaming white cabinets, quartz countertops, ceramic backsplash and under cabinet lighting. The master suite is upstairs and features a master retreat facing the lake, abundant storage and closet spaces and a stunning master bath with walk in ceramic shower and double vanities. The retreat area could easily be converted to a fourth bedroom if desired. You will also love the fact that there is a full bathroom on each level of this home! The basement features two more bedrooms and a full bathroom. Both bedrooms offer walk out access to the deck and views of the lake as well. One bedroom has a clever little alcove that could offer several options. Is it a kitchenette for guests or a mother-in-law suite? Is it a walk in closet? Is it a small office space? You decide. There is also a family room space centrally located in the basement and it features another lovely gas fireplace. The basement boast an abundance of storage space and closets as well. The roof on the garage and house are new two years ago. Water heater new in 2020 and Bryant furnace new in 2024. Natural gas Generac generator. Air conditioning. The landscaping is pristine; so many blooming bushes and tasteful landscaping elements including a gazebo and fire pit by the lake, lakeside electrical, lush green grass and even fenced off areas for the family pets to roam safely. As if that weren’t enough, this home (situated on a triple lot with only one lake assessment) features so much toy, car and workshop space. In addition to the detached 2.5 car garage with workshop, there is a 26x48 barn with a full loft and 16' lean to. And the parking provided by this property is also remarkable. Invite your friends to the lake because between the paved drive area and the graveled area in front of and to the side of the big barn, you will have LOTS of room to park guests, or have overflow space for boats and trailers. There isn’t another home like this one on Sanford Lake so come and make it yours before it’s gone. It is truly a gem.
