    What's special

    Enjoy panoramic water views and stunning sunsets from this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath lakefront home on private, spring-fed Softwater Lake. Situated on 125 feet of frontage on a quiet no-outlet street, this property offers the perfect blend of relaxation, recreation, and year-round living. Originally built as a cottage in 1955 and expanded in the 1990s, the home features a cathedral-ceiling Great Room with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the lake, heated stone tile flooring, and sliding glass doors leading to a freshly painted two-level deck and newly renovated stone patio. Fishing, kayaking, swimming, and birdwatching are right outside your door. Canoe and kayaks are included. The bright kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, a breakfast bar, gas range, large refrigerator, and new dishwasher. A spacious dining area, convenient laundry room, and remodeled full bath complete the main level. Upstairs you’ll find three bedrooms, hardwood flooring, and a beautifully updated bath featuring a soaking tub, shower, and custom vanity. A standout feature is the oversized two-story, heated 5-car garage with 200-amp service, 240-volt outlets, air compressor lines, extensive storage, and abundant natural light—ideal for hobbyists, contractors, workshop space, or a future office or studio. Additional highlights include central air, forced-air heat with two furnaces, city sewer, owned well with a 2024 deluxe water-softening system, four skylights installed in 2022, a 2025 garage door opener, and a roof in excellent condition. Located just minutes from all-sports Lobdell Lake, this unique waterfront property offers peaceful lake living with easy access to additional recreation.
