    This updated home at Sun Valley Lake offers modern style, functional design, and a phenomenal location on the water. From the moment you step inside, 16-foot-wide floor-to-ceiling glass windows showcase panoramic lake views, making the lake the centerpiece of the home. Positioned on an east-facing lot, two covered decks capture golden sunrises, offer shaded afternoons, and provide a front-row view of the Fourth of July fireworks over the dam — A community tradition at Sun Valley Lake. Inside, you'll find quartz countertops throughout, updated finishes, and an open-concept layout connecting the kitchen, living, and dining spaces with two bedrooms on the main level. The lower level boasts a large family room, custom hickory bar, a bonus room converted into a bedroom, a laundry room offering plenty of counter space and wood cabinets, and an extra storage closet under the stairs. Each floor has updated bathrooms with double vanities, adding convenience and functionality for all. Outside, there are two large under-deck storage areas to keep lake gear, furniture and seasonal items organized and ready. Also included is an Elf floating dock made of composite decking along with a boat hoist to store your watercraft. With space for family and friends, this property is ready to enjoy — All that is left is to move in and make it yours!
