Tucked along a peaceful canal with 160 feet of waterfront, this charming lake retreat offers the perfect blend of relaxation and is easy to entertain in. Lush landscaping surrounds the property, creating a private oasis where mornings begin with coffee in the screened Florida room overlooking the water and evenings end on the Adirondack chairs on the dock, back deck or paver patio as the sun sets. Enjoy cooking out or roasting marshmallows at the fire pit, while the faint sounds of nearby bands play in the background. Inside, the home features a bright all-white eat in kitchen with classic beadboard cabinetry, and a comfortable single-level layout designed for effortless lake living. The living space is bright, yet cozy centering around the fireplace. Boating enthusiasts will love the expansive seawall with space to dock multiple boats, offering quick access to the main lake while enjoying the calm of the no wake zone. The property spans two lots totaling approximately 0.3 acres, with the home on one lot and an oversized detached two-car garage on the second, providing incredible flexibility for the extra fridge, storage, hobbies, or future expansion possibilities. The grounds feel like a private garden with a huge shady Buckeye tree in the front yard and apple and pear trees in the backyard, adding charm and seasonal beauty. Smart updates include a new tiled walk-in shower, new roof and siding (2025), on demand water heater and security system. Whether you're hosting friends for a summer gathering, fishing off the dock, or enjoying quiet evenings by the water, this property captures the magic of lake life. The home has been enjoyed by family as well as rented out on a short-term basis.
