My wife and I love this small, but peaceful all sports lake. We love our location on the lake; quiet neighborhood with wonderful neighbors. It's very spacious, all on 1 story. If our daughters and grandkids didn't live on the west coast, we'd never leave. When we started wintering on the west coast we converted one side of the house into a 2300sf apt, simply by locking 2 heavy wood French doors. It brings us $2300/mo rent, which pays for most of our winter rental and keeps someone watching the house while we're gone. If we choose not to rent, it can convert back to a1-family house in 30secs. Like most lakehouses, it has a large crawl space rather than basement, but our enormous garage allows us to park 2 cars, 2 boats, and still have lots of storage. Our lot is flat with room to put our boat in. Perhaps my favorite thing is the fenced in asphalt nestled behind the garage and in front of a woods, designed for a full size basketball ct (with glass backboards) and a tennis ct, but we've converted the tennis court into 2 pickleball courts. A wonderful space for competitive or recreational athletes of all ages, and provides a great space to socialize with small or large groups. If you have active school-age children and/or grandchildren, this could be your dream house for many, many years. The home has not undergone recent updates or remodeling, which is why we're priced it at $740,000, rather than something closer to $900,000.
