About This Home

As of August 2026

Enjoy quiet living with shared lake access and a roll-in dock included, conveniently located just across the street. Completely gutted and remodeled in 2016, this charming home was thoughtfully updated from top to bottom, with no detail overlooked. Custom hickory cabinetry and Gypsum flooring throughout adds warmth, character, and quality craftsmanship. The home offers beautiful views of the lake from the front and peaceful wooded scenery in the backyard, creating the perfect balance of water and nature. A standout feature is the 24' x 14' guest house, which is insulated and heated for year-round enjoyment. It includes an electric fireplace, refrigerator, TV, and queen-size bunk beds, making it ideal for hosting family and friends. Additional sleeping space is available in the 20' x 8' seasonal bunk house, which accommodates three twin beds. Whether you're looking for a year-round residence, a weekend getaway, or a property with plenty of room for visitors, this lake-area home offers comfort, charm, and exceptional versatility.
