Welcome to 81 Lakeview Drive, a quintessential log cabin estate offering deeded lake rights and endless opportunities to embrace the coveted Whaley Lake lifestyle. Nestled on a generous and private double lot, this charming retreat isn’t just a home - it’s your front-row seat to summer on the water.
From the moment you arrive, the inviting front porch draws you in with panoramic, year-round views of Whaley Lake, setting the perfect stage for morning coffee, evening sunsets, and weekend gatherings. With direct lake access just steps away, you’ll be launching kayaks, casting a fishing line, or enjoying a leisurely swim all season long.
Inside, the warm and welcoming entryway leads to a private office/den with beautiful lake views, ideal for remote work with a touch of serenity. The expansive living area features soaring ceilings, hardwood floors, and a striking floor-to-ceiling stone propane fireplace — all designed to frame the ever-changing scenery of the lake beyond.
The open-concept kitchen and dining area are made for entertaining after a day on the water. Modern glass cabinets and a central layout make hosting lakeside dinners effortless. Just beyond, a spacious sunroom/mudroom opens to the back deck, leading up to your private in-ground pool, perfect for cooling off during the afternoons on the lake.
This thoughtfully designed home offers three inviting bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a flexible lofted space ideal for relaxation or creative pursuits. The backyard oasis continues on to a massive pool house boasting French doors, a powder room, and sweeping views of the pool and lake beyond.
Additional features include central air, a whole-house generator, a beautifully crafted two-bay garage with 12-foot ceilings, a pool shed for added storage or entertaining space, ample parking, and private road access.
Whether you're boating, swimming, fishing, or simply soaking up the sun on Whaley Lake, 81 Lakeview Drive offers an unbeatable blend of rustic charm, modern amenities, and the ultimate summer escape. Don’t just visit the lake, live it.
