Great little place to escape to the lake! No maintenance wrap around deck, vaulted ceiling in the living room. Nice paver fire pit area at the lake. Walkout lower level has rustic pine walls and ceilings. Home is very spacious. Two car garage that is just steps away from the house has an 11x26 finished bonus room area. The 2nd BD in the basement is non-conforming & does not have a legal egress. Great location and lot!
