This absolutely delightful, year-round lakeside retreat is waiting to welcome you home! Thoughtfully designed to feature its stunning natural surroundings, the home embraces you with light and warmth the moment you step into the open living area. Three sets of double glass doors offer not only wonderful water and forest vistas, but effortless access to the wrap-around deck that culminates in a gorgeous 130 s.f. screened-in porch, perfect for shelter from both rain and sun. Featuring high ceilings and tall windows, the cozy yet spacious living room flows into a charming eat-in kitchen complete with a propane-fueled kitchen stove that hearkens back to a bygone era. A modern, compact wood stove provides an ample and efficient heat source for the entire main floor while contributing to an overall vibe of respite and relaxation. Gleaming hardwood floors and high-end, low-allergen carpet add to the beauty and comfort of the living spaces, including two inviting bedrooms with generously sized windows. The newly renovated bathroom showcases upscale ceramic tile and finishes. Downstairs, the walkout basement has been fully finished and offers an additional two lovely bedrooms - also with sizeable windows - and another full bathroom. The ample rec room houses a new laundry centre and presents opportunity for entertaining, storage, and more. Beautiful pine ceilings and complementary trim impart the feeling of an elevated woodland hideaway. Practical features of the property include a new mini split with a head on each level of the home and a 200 amp electrical panel; an insulated, 24' x 20' wired garage with a metal roof installed the week of listing; a 9' x 7' storage shed; and floating docks measuring a total of 180 square feet. Located just three minutes from many amenities, with more than 2.5 acres and over 260 feet of waterfront on Trout Lake, the beauty and serenity of this property are matched only by the recreational opportunities with which it entices!
