Property Description

Your Waterfront Escape on Island Lake! Imagine waking up to panoramic views of Island Lake every morning. This lovely two-story home is your private oasis, offering both tranquility and adventure-all just steps from your backyard. With five bedrooms and four bathrooms, this spacious residence is perfectly suited for family life or entertaining guests year-round. Set on nearly half an acre of fenced land, the property provides plenty of outdoor space for relaxing, playing, or casting your line into the lake. Inside, the welcoming entry leads into an open-concept living area, where natural light floods the hardwood floors. The kitchen is a chef's delight, featuring white cabinetry, a large central island, and sleek countertops-ideal for gatherings and everyday meals alike. On the main level, you'll find a flexible room that can be used as an office, guest room, or fifth bedroom, plus a full bathroom for convenience.

Upstairs, discover four comfortable bedrooms and three full bathrooms, including a stunningly remodeled bath in the master suite. The master offers a spa-like retreat with a Jacuzzi tub, double vanity, and a spacious walk-in closet. A second-floor laundry simplifies chores, while three additional bedrooms share two full baths-one of which has been tastefully updated. Extra storage is no problem thanks to a pull-down attic, while the lakeside setting promises peaceful mornings and spectacular sunsets. Whether you're seeking a peaceful retreat or an active waterfront lifestyle, this home delivers it all.
