The lower-level features heated tile flooring, a laundry room, a 6 x 8 tiled bath with a shower, and access to a cedar sauna. There’s also an 11 x 13 bonus room ready for egress window installation, and a 14 x 16 bedroom with a walkout feature. With 100 feet of lakeshore and a 10 x 20 covered boat port, this property is perfect for fishing enthusiasts. Additional storage includes a log-sided structure and a 1.75-story barn-style garage built in 2024, with heating and a cold storage loft. Surrounded by trees for privacy, this home is a hidden gem on Burntside Lake.
