Situated on a private lake and just moments from Lake Erie, this well-maintained 3-bedroom, 2-full-bath all-brick ranch offers the convenience of first-floor living, a remarkable waterfront setting, and quality construction rarely found today. Large windows throughout the home capture peaceful water views and fill the living spaces with natural light. The thoughtfully designed floor plan features spacious rooms, abundant storage, and the convenience of having the primary living areas, bedrooms, and baths all on the main level. The spacious primary suite serves as a private retreat with its own en suite bath, while a bright sunroom provides the perfect place to relax and enjoy the surrounding scenery year-round. A true highlight of the property is the full walk-out lower level, equal in footprint to the main floor and offering exceptional flexibility for recreation, entertaining, hobbies, workshop space, guest accommodations, or additional living space. The walk-out design creates a seamless connection to the backyard patio and waterfront setting. The expansive lot, mature landscaping, and private lake views create a peaceful retreat while remaining just minutes from Vermilion's charming downtown, marinas, beaches, restaurants, and all that Lake Erie living has to offer. Combining the ease of ranch living, enduring all-brick construction, a spacious walk-out lower level, and a truly special waterfront setting, this is a rare opportunity to own one of Vermilion's most distinctive properties.
