Enjoy true lake living with a beachfront patio, seawall, and direct access for boating, swimming, and summer fun. At the rear of the home, the multi-level decks have been fully renovated and freshly stained, complemented by updated landscaping. Additional highlights include an indoor-outdoor dog run, optional invisible fence, and a circular driveway connecting a three-car attached garage to a three-car detached garage with a built-in workbench. With boating season here, this is more than a home...it's a lifestyle on the water.
