What's special
Looking for that secluded home on the water? How about 3 Bedrooms? How about beautiful cathedral ceilings lined with pine slats for that cabin in the mountains feel? This stick built home, on two lots, is nestled on a cove that opens up to a larger lake. This is definatley the place to "Live a life you do not need a vacation from!"

Skylights and wooden casings, and window boxes give this room the ultimate retreat feel. Cozy kitchen with all appliances staying. Corian counters throughout. Second bedroom is a bunk room with built in bunkbed and storage. Third bedroom is upstairs with raised ceilings and half bath. Also with the beautiful wooden window frame and window boxes. A unique pully system has been installed to help with bringing items upstairs! Master bedroom also has a wall of windows overlooking the cove. Bathroom is open and shower is wrapped in Corian. Now to the main attraction. Your multi tier deck leads to the hidden cove in which you can swim, boat, fish from the boat dock, or just relax and enjoy the nature around you.
