CUTE CUTE CUTE. Prime Birdseye location on the desirable Narrows of Sylvan Lake! This updated cottage is a true blend of 1930s charm with the conveniences of a modern lake home. Whether full-time or part-time, this home is ready for new owners just in time for lake season. Sylvan Lake is an all-sports, sun-up to sun-down recreational lake, and this spot is prime — with awesome firm sandy and rocky swimming right off the concrete seawall. Out back on the street side, there’s ample parking on the concrete drive, just off the two-car detached garage. The perfectly manicured, level yard stretches around the lakeside front, offering exceptional east-facing sunrise views. There are multiple areas for entertaining — from the yard, the house deck, and the elevated lakeside deck just before heading down to the water. And of course, we can’t forget the lakeside level — the heart of outdoor fun and relaxation. Back inside, you'll find real oak hardwood floors throughout most of the main level and an updated slate-tile bathroom with a step-in (not step-over) walk-in shower. The kitchen offers tons of storage, from the cabinets to the custom built-ins. Just inside the back door on the street side is the laundry area with washer and dryer, and the nearly new HVAC system that keeps things efficient during the winter months — or for when those lakefront breezes need a little backup. Upstairs, just off the central landing, you'll find a spacious primary bedroom big enough for a king bed, a second bedroom with a queen, and a third room with a matching set of twin beds. CUTE CUTE CUTE, to say the least. This home is exceptionally placed with easy access both to town and to the lake.
