Enjoy breathtaking views down the longest stretch of Elbow Lake from this well-built ranch with a full walkout basement. Lovingly cared for by one owner since its completion in 1984, this solid home offers the perfect opportunity to create your own lakefront retreat.
The main level features an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area designed to take full advantage of the stunning lake views. A cozy wood stove keeps the home warm on winter nights, while sliding doors from the living room lead to a covered lakeside deck--perfect for enjoying the expansive yard, relaxing outdoors year-round, or watching storms roll across the water while staying comfortably sheltered.
The main floor includes two bedrooms and a full bath. Downstairs, the walkout lower level offers a spacious family room with a propane fireplace and sliders leading to the lakeside patio, along with two additional bedrooms and a combined bathroom/laundry area--ideal for hosting family and guests. Outside, a convenient half-moon driveway provides easy access, and the large detached two-stall garage offers plenty of space for vehicles, lake toys, and storage.
Recent improvements within the past five years include a new roof, furnace, 1,200-gallon septic system, extensive terracing and landscaping with steps from the driveway, and a curtain drain system installed around the home.
Bring your vision, color palette, and decorating ideas to make this special lakefront cottage your own. At this price, it won't last long--schedule your private showing today.
