When a 1966 vintage lake cottage undergoes major renovation and rebuilding (2008), you get an awesome lake house that sits at water's edge! Park your car and board the "train" (aka tram) for a fun ride to the front door. Not your average floorplan, quickly discover the abundant lakefront outdoor living space on two levels. Home features two master suites and a third en-suite bedroom. All living space is at lake level, so relax indoors or out, easy access to the kitchen and "facilities", sunbathe or jump off the deck atop the boathouse (deep water), chill on the screened deck off the main master, dine alfresco on the lower deck . . . One of the most fun homes in Lake Lure! Classic details, wood floors, luxury tiled bathrooms, modernized kitchen, wood floors. Low-maintenance Hardiplank siding and Trex decking leave time for enjoying boating, swimming and relaxing. All mechanicals and plumbing updated, new drainage systems. Too much to mention - schedule a showing and see for yourself!

After an extensive renovation in 2008, this home on Lake Lure was transformed into a truly unique and enduring residence. New features include all new plumbing, wiring, a completely remodeled kitchen with granite counters, claw foot tubs and glass-enclosed showers, and hardwood floors throughout. A trolley from street level to the front door makes for easy access to the home while the Trex decks allow easy access to the lake and double boathouse.
