What makes this property unique
Space is the real luxury here. With over [insert square footage if known] of living space, five bedrooms, and a sprawling backyard, My Fair Haven offers room to breathe—something you just don’t find in many homes this close to the lake.
The fenced-in yard is a standout feature for families traveling with kids. Whether you’re playing lawn games, grilling out, or gathering around the fire pit, it’s a space that invites connection. The large patio has enough seating for group meals, while the front porch provides a peaceful retreat when you want a moment to yourself.
Inside, the layout is ideal for multigenerational groups or friends traveling together. Two king bedrooms, two queen rooms, and a twin room offer flexibility, and three full bathrooms mean no one’s waiting for a shower. The spacious kitchen, dining benches, and island seating make mealtime easy and enjoyable for large parties.
All of this comes in a quiet, safe neighborhood just minutes from the beach, the bay, and scenic nature trails—making it the perfect place to reconnect and recharge.
