LAKEFRONT LEGACY COTTAGE. Imagine waking up to stunning sunrises with the glimmer of Serene Lake as your morning routine. This exceptional lakefront legacy cottage is more than just a home; it's a lifestyle. Tucked in the pines and only steps from the lake, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom cottage is one of a few situated on the very desirable cul-de-sac of Island Way. Designed with stylish old-world charm by the award-winning architectural firm of John Malick and Associates and built by Paul Trauman of Heritage Builders, the exceptional craftsmanship greets you in the entryway and continues throughout. This enchanted cottage features coffered ceilings, carved cupboard accents with antique handles and latches, tall Shaker wainscoting, gridded wrapped windows, and colorful tile flooring, all creating a setting of warmth and comfort. Relish the quiet and peaceful lake and mountain views while cooking, dining, sitting fireside, or relaxing with family and friends on the covered porch. When it's time to play, paddle boards, kayaks, and sailboats, and toys can be conveniently stored under the cottage and only steps from the water's edge and your private dock. Modern conveniences make this cottage enjoyable during every season, and the potential for rental income makes it a smart investment. Experience the relaxing soundtrack of nature and the tranquility of lakefront living with endless opportunities for year-round activities right outside your door. Located in the desirable community of Serene Lakes with easy access to Hwy 80, Sugar Bowl ski area, Truckee, and all of Tahoe.
