    What's special

    Water views
    Enjoy lakefront living on East Lake without the high lakefront taxes! This 4-bedroom, 2-bath home offers the perfect combination of water views, space, and privacy—just in time for summer at the Iowa Great Lakes. Inside, you’ll find two large living areas, giving everyone room to relax, entertain, or unwind after a day on the water. The layout provides flexibility for hosting guests, creating a game room, or setting up a cozy second gathering space. Step outside to a beautiful deck and patio surrounded by mature trees, offering both shade and a peaceful setting. Whether you're enjoying morning coffee, grilling with friends, or watching the sunset over East Lake, this outdoor space is designed to be enjoyed. Dock space is available through the Francis Sites Association, making lake access simple and convenient. As an added bonus, most of the updated furniture will stay—making this a move-in ready opportunity for your lake retreat or year-round home. If you’ve been dreaming of a place at the lake before summer begins, this could be your happy place.
