Five Minutes from the Lake — Mountain Views & Endless Possibilities Welcome to this beautifully maintained one-owner home nestled on 1.58 acres of gently rolling land, just five minutes from the lake and surrounded by serene mountain views. As you approach, you'll notice two private driveways, one leading to the front entrance and another to the side, offering convenience and flexibility for guests or multi-use living. Step inside and you're greeted by a bright kitchen featuring updated appliances and a large pass-through window that opens to the spacious living and dining areas. Picture windows line the living room, framing the stunning mountain backdrop and filling the space with natural light. Off the dining room, a cozy screened-in porch invites you to enjoy morning coffee or evening breezes, while the expansive back deck stretches out for entertaining, grilling, or simply soaking in the peaceful surroundings. Just beyond the kitchen, you'll find a pantry closet and another versatile closet currently staged as a small office nook, but also equipped with laundry hookups for added functionality. Down the hall, three comfortable bedrooms await, including a generous primary suite with walk out access to the deck, a walk-in closet and a large private bath. Each room offers comfort and charm, with thoughtful touches throughout. The lower level opens up a world of opportunity. With its own private entrance, full bathroom, laundry area, kitchen, and spacious living room, it's perfectly suited for a mother-in-law suite, guest quarters, or even rental potential. Additional storage includes a dedicated canning room and access to the attached one-car garage. A working wood/coal furnace adds an energy-efficient heating option to the space, ideal for cozy winters and backup warmth. Outside, the property continues to impress. A detached two-car garage is fully equipped with heating and air conditioning, ideal for a workshop, studio, or hobby space. The level yard offers plenty of room to roam, garden, or play, and an additional outbuilding provides even more space for tools or tinkering. With a newer roof (just two years old), updated appliances, and a location that offers easy access to both the lake and town amenities, this home is ready to welcome its next chapter. Whether you're seeking a peaceful retreat, multi-generational living, or room to grow, this property delivers comfort, versatility, and scenic charm in a truly convenient setting.
