Property Description
Originally built as a cozy lake cottage in the 1940s, this property was thoughtfully transformed in the early 2010s through a substantial addition and renovation, creating the exceptional year-round lakefront home it is today. Offering 4 beds and 3 baths, the home showcases stunning, unobstructed lake views from nearly every angle. The spacious open-concept floor plan is ideal for both everyday living and entertaining, while extensive updates throughout the home provide modern comfort and style. The kitchen features granite countertops, ample cabinetry, and a bright, inviting atmosphere enhanced by abundant natural light. Upstairs, the primary suite is truly a standout feature. Complete with beautiful custom built-ins and arguably the best view on the lake, it offers a breathtaking backdrop to start and end each day. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence or a waterfront retreat, this move-in-ready home combines character, modern updates, and spectacular lakefront living.
