WATERFRONT - Do not miss out on his charming three-bedroom, three-bath with it's breathtaking open views and sandy beach. The spacious layout has everything you need on the main level: a large kitchen, living room with a fireplace, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and laundry area. Downstairs features a walkout basement with a living room and a full bathroom. A two-car attached garage with a circle driveway perfect for extra parking or guests. Step outside the back door onto a wrap around deck with majestic views of the lake where you could enjoy our colorful sunsets here on the water. The backyard is beautifully landscaped with seasonal flowering plants, a picket white fence and dock. In my opinion the best part of the back yard is the sandy beach area where the whole family can enjoy time together in the sand. The house is located less than 10 min from the Freeway next to the Lake of Egypt Country Club Golf course community, close to local marinas and hiking. Your endless lake life fun awaits. Here is your sign to not wait on this opportunity to own slice of heaven on our amazing lake! ***The house is rented this week and showings start Sept 8th 2024 call for an appointment today***
