Welcome to your perfect lakeside property on beautiful First Silver Lake, just minutes from Battle Lake. This well-maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers 75 feet of exceptional shoreline with excellent water clarity and a setting that immediately feels warm, inviting, and relaxing. Positioned slightly closer to the lake than neighboring homes, the property enjoys outstanding water views from the spacious 4-season porch and the lakeside patio—ideal for morning coffee, entertaining, or simply soaking in the peaceful surroundings. The home has been lovingly cared for and is ready to enjoy year-round. Outside, you'll find a 3-stall detached garage, with one stall converted into a functional workshop, plus two additional storage sheds for all your lake toys and equipment. Speaking of sheds, there is also a convient lakeside shed with power – so no hauling boat batteries back and forth! Located just a 5-minute drive from Battle Lake's charming shops and restaurants, and close to Ottertail/Otter Tail Lake for outstanding fishing, golf, and popular waterfront dining, this property offers the perfect blend of easy maintenance and year-round activity.
