Enjoy waterfront living on one of Sun Valley Lake’s best-loved coves! This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home sits on a flat lot along “Party Cove,” a familiar gathering spot for boaters who know and love the lake. The spacious waterfront yard offers plenty of room for swimming, lawn games, entertaining, and relaxing by the water.
Take in the lake views from a deck designed to make the most of the setting. Clear glass panels preserve your view, while a retractable awning provides welcome shade on hot summer days. Inside, the kitchen and living room feature abundant windows that capture natural light and southern views.
The primary bedroom includes a private full bath with a stackable washer and dryer. Two additional bedrooms and a second full bathroom provide comfortable space for guests. A storage shed keeps tubes, fishing gear, tools, and lawn games conveniently tucked away.
Fresh paint and trim throughout give the home a welcoming feel. The roof is approximately 10 years old, and the shoreline was recently rocked. Near the water, a firepit offers the perfect place to gather for evening campfires and unwind after a day on the lake.
A 25-foot Manitou Osprey Pro boat, dock, and boat lift are also available for purchase.
From sunny afternoons on the deck to evenings around the fire, this Sun Valley Lake home is ready for your next chapter of lake memories.
