Enjoy lake breezes at this home! Just one block from the lake in a peaceful and private location, situated on approx 1/2 acre. Renovated and expanded by Jeff Lynch, in 2003, this house never 'hit the market!" Cathedral ceiling in the family room, walk-in cooler, dog bath, walnut office adjacent to the master, and garaging for 3 cars make this a "honey stop the car!" home!
