About This Home

Tucked among the trees, this charming 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom cabin-style cottage offers a unique layout and thoughtful updates in a serene setting in Christmas Lake Village. The main entrance opens to the upper level, where vaulted and beamed ceilings elevate the open living, dining, and kitchen space. The primary bedroom and a full bath are also on this floor, along with access to a balcony that looks out over the peaceful .326-acre lot. Downstairs, the main level features two more bedrooms, a second full bath, a laundry room, and a second living room with its own entrance—perfect for flexible day-to-day living. Character details like gingerbread trim and window boxes add to the home’s warmth, while newer updates include a new roof on both the house and garage, new balcony and front doors, and mini-split systems added downstairs. A detached two-car garage, carport, and quiet surroundings round out this inviting property.
