About this home

Lake Ada – Click your heels together…you have landed at the emerald green shores of pristine Lake Ada. The iridescent waters reflect off the home’s lakeside glass. Wood smoke settles around the looming red pines creating a story book setting for this 3BR / 1 1/2 BA waterfront jewel. The interior’s knotty pine construction harkens to a more rustic 1960’s vibe. The brick rimmed FP is the focal point of the living room. A galley kitchen connects to an informal dining room. The second level sports a large landing and a third bedroom. A walkout basement features a small family room and utility areas. Additionally, there is a 2BR / 3/4BA guest cabin ideal for friends and family. Concrete steps lead to a stunning 100’ sand beach just begging to hear kid’s laughter. An oversized garage, shed and small lakeside storage building round out the property’s structures. Lake Ada captures the essence and definition of true lake living on one of the most popular lakes in the heartland.
