Charming Lake Home in Gated Community. This three bedroom home has exceptional curb appeal and great outdoor space for entertaining and gardening. Originally built in 1935, it has undergone architectural renovations over the decades to become this 1758sf country home. The last major renovation, in 1985, added living space, a second garage, and a wrap around deck. You’ll find seasonal lake views from the front of the home and deck, and you’ll find a terraced rear yard. This home features many windows and skylights allowing in a lot of natural light and a seamless transition from outdoors to indoors. You’ll find a gorgeous tongue-and-groove bead board ceiling in the kitchen as well as stainless appliances and walls of windows on 3 sides. Pantry space and the laundry closet are also in the kitchen area. The sunken living room features a beautiful stone fireplace that reaches the top of the cathedral ceiling. Fir and oak wood floors and tongue-and-groove ceilings are throughout much of the home. This guarded community offers year-round amenities which include a clubhouse, extra large sandy beach, dedicated swimming areas with seasonal lifeguards, a marina with boat slips, tennis & bocce courts, pickle ball court, basketball courts, playground, summer youth camp and social activities! Plenty of winter sports as well!
You’ll find the main bedroom just off the living room which features its own half bath. A second bedroom is upstairs, along with a half bath and seasonal lake views. The home’s third bedroom is just 3 steps up from the living room. The home’s one full bathroom is oversized and sectioned off so several people can use it at the same time with complete privacy. One area contains a deep tub, sink, and storage. Another section has a stand-alone sink. And the final area has the commode and stand-up shower. Each area has its own door for privacy. Walk out of the kitchen door to enjoy outdoor living in your terraced yard complete with stone paths to multi-level areas or on your wrap-around deck. The basement area is unfinished. It contains mechanicals, storage space, and ledge that leaves part of the area a crawlspace; it is accessible from the front swinging doors.
