This East Okoboji property breaks the mold with exceptional lakeside features. Enjoy a perfect, gradual approach spanning 75 wondrous feet of lakeshore, a truly vast covered deck with endless opportunities to unwind or entertain, a walkout wood-paneled three-season room, and a more private setting with the quiet association-owned vacant neighboring lot. And those are just the lakeside amenities! The five bedroom (two non-conforming) home offers an airy vaulted-ceiling living room, numerous hangout spaces and options for additional sleeping areas, and the unsuspecting delight—a supersized heated garage with four-plus spaces and approx. 49 feet of depth. Store the boat (or two) along with your vehicles and all the toys! From the dock to the garage, this Arthur Heights home is seriously a special find.
