Proudly built and owned by the original owners, this elevated home was thoughtfully designed with the main living area on the second floor, providing peace of mind with no history of flooding and no flood insurance required. The upper level offers over 1,200 square feet of living space with two bedrooms, including an ensuite primary, two bathrooms, and an open, light-filled living area. The kitchen is functional and well-appointed with essential appliances, flowing into a spacious living room with French doors leading to a 300 square foot screened deck overlooking the lake, the sunsets here are truly unforgettable.
The ground level features a large two-car garage and a separate private entry in-law suite, ideal for guests, extended family, or flexible living. This level provides direct access to the heated saltwater pool and paver deck area, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The backyard is fully fenced and complemented by a large turnaround driveway, offering both privacy and convenience.
