Charming Fixer-Upper in Coveted Candlewood Isle - Endless Potential Awaits! Discover an exceptional opportunity to own a piece of Candlewood Lake's most sought-after community-Candlewood Isle. This charming 1935 cottage is ready for a transformation and awaits your vision. Whether you're an investor, builder, or dream-home renovator, this property offers limitless potential in a one-of-a-kind setting. Situated on a 926 sq ft footprint with the ability to double your living space by finishing the basement, this home is being sold as-is-with an option to engage the current owner for general contracting and renovation. Recent exterior updates include vinyl siding and a new roof (2018), along with a stunning stone fireplace and original exposed beams that lend warmth and character to the living room. The basement has been gutted and will require structural work, offering a blank canvas to build to your exact needs. Candlewood Isle is a private lake community that offers unmatched amenities: a marina with boat slips, private beach with clubhouse, tennis and pickleball courts, bocce, basketball, an ice rink in winter, and year-round recreation programs for all ages. More than just a home, this is a lifestyle. Don't miss this rare chance to restore a piece of lakeside history and make it your own. Bring your creativity-and your contractor-and unlock the full potential of this sweet home in a truly magical community.
