WOW! This is the opportunity you have been waiting for! A lakefront home on Back Lake in beautiful DeFuniak Springs doesn't become available often and you don't want to miss it. This home has been well loved and cared for by the same family for more than 30 years. Imagine your family enjoying the only lake in the area that you can waterski, jet ski, swim, or fish till your heart is content. Beautiful sunset drinks on your private dock, a 1.8 acre lot for any outdoor activity that you are interested in and still in the absolute center of town! What more could you want?? The home is a 3 bedroom 2 bath featuring a huge den and dining area on the back that was added to the original home. Exterior is brick and vinyl with a fairly new metal roof which leads to nearly no maintenance. Interior has a warm and cozy feel like being in a mountain cabin. Large open den that is 20 x 40 lends itself to great family functions or entertaining. Split floor plan gives privacy to the master suite which opens to the carport. A beautiful porch overlooks a well landscaped front yard for those lazy afternoons in the swing. There is also a backporch to watch the sunset over the lake or mosy on down to your own private dock. Watch the kids as they swim or jetski, take the family out on the boat or drown a worm while you forget you are in the center of town. Call to schedule a private showing and do not let this opportunity pass you by.
