East-facing spot with wide lake views, especially beautiful on the 4th of July. This walk-out ranch has a big -triple glass sliding door that fills the home with morning light. A covered deck gives you a calm place to enjoy the sunrise, and the open main area is great for gatherings. The kitchen has a roomy breakfast bar and a cozy coffee space, with two bedrooms on the main level. The lower level adds a family room with a wet bar, sliders to another covered deck, a bath, a large non-conforming bunk room, and a utility and laundry space. Outside, a floating dock system with a swim deck and jet ski lift creates a perfect place for swimming and soaking up the sunshine. This is an exceptional location for deep water and of course, the lake is crystal clear!
