Gorgeous home on East Lake Okoboji, just in time for summer! Tucked away in the desirable Francis Sites neighborhood, this charming 2-bedroom, 2-bath home offers breathtaking views of the lake. Step inside to a welcoming living room with a fireplace and a spacious kitchen designed for entertaining. Outside, enjoy 50 feet of professionally redone shoreline, completed in spring 2025. The natural grass and wildflower mix will soon flourish into a colorful, low-maintenance lakeside landscape. New heavy-duty aluminum steps (non-rusting) lead down to the water where a large VW platform and a 4-year-old VW dock, both included in the sale, will be installed for easy lake access and summer fun. Don’t miss your opportunity to own this peaceful lakeside retreat!
