Escape to your own private lakeside retreat with 75 feet of shoreline, a large home and almost an acre lot on beautiful Collinwood Lake, a renowned Walleye hotspot. This home has had a total refresh. New Lights, New stairs, Freash Paint, New hardware. Now Lighter and brighter, it has the light, modern feel you're looking for (New pictures to come). Tucked back from the water among the trees, this property offers the privacy and up-north cabin feel you've been searching for yet it's only 1 hr from the metro.
Inside, the knotty pine ceiling in the Great Room creates the rustic charm that defines lake living. Large windows bring in natural light while the spacious floor plan offers room for everyone. (Note the generous room sizes). The upper-level in-law or guest suite, complete with its own kitchen and living area, is perfect for extended family, weekend visitors, or multi-generational living. With two kitchens and two separate living spaces, there's plenty of room to spread out after a day on the water. This home has had a recent facelift with fresh paint, new lighting, new hardware and, a new staircase. In the past two years there was an amazing walk in shower built and new counters and sinks in the kitchen.
Outside, enjoy everything that makes lake life special. A huge lakeside lawn is ideal for yard games and family get-togethers, while the front patio sitting area, and upper-level deck provide the perfect spots for morning coffee. The back patio, tucked in the trees, offers a private spot for an evening bonfire or a surprise visit from local wildlife.
The newer Insulated, heated and air-conditioned three-car garage offers abundant storage for vehicles, boats, and all your lake toys. Although a quiet road runs between the home and the shoreline, it is a end end that serves only a handful of cabins and it experiences very little traffic, preserving the peaceful setting.
Recently appraised well above the asking price, this is an exceptional opportunity to own a true lakeside getaway on one of the area's premier fishing lakes. Bring your family, your fishing rods, and your favorite Adirondack chairs—your Lake Life memories start here. This is a great deal for an awesome home!
