Hardwood floors grace most of the home, complemented by recent updates to the bathroom and kitchen where you can choose to dine at either the breakfast nook or large dining table that seats 8! The home also offers a fully stocked kitchen—ideal for baking the fresh blueberries picked from the surrounding u-pick blueberry farms. Outside you'll find a 2-tiered deck with comfy seating, outdoor dining, and a grill. Be sure to grab your cup of coffee or tea and head outside to enjoy peaceful mornings as the sun rises over the calm waters. After, dive into a variety of outdoor activities—swimming, fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding, or canoeing, then end your evening gathered around the large wood burning firepit illuminated by string lights. A private community boat launch conveniently located alongside the home and a private dock in the back, every day is an adventure. Your perfect lakefront retreat awaits!
