1843 Cornelia Dr, Clarion, IA 50525

Waterfront Family Home on Quiet Lake Cornelia Enjoy relaxed lake living on a peaceful dead-end road with very little traffic. This modest, family-oriented community on Lake Cornelia has a genuine hometown feel—down-to-earth neighbors, functional boats, and no pressure to keep up with anyone. It’s the kind of place where weekends are about simple fun on the water rather than show. The home sits right on the lake with its own dock off the lower patio (dock included; simply not installed this season for photos). A boat house by the patio provides convenient storage for floaties, skis, and the dock in winter. A long driveway leads to a large detached two-car garage with extra space for projects and storage, plus plenty of room for guest parking. A lovely grassy yard sits between the garage and the house. The main level offers 1,018 square feet of single-story living. The open living room, dining area, and kitchen give you flexible options for arranging the space however you like. A gas fireplace adds warmth, and the home has central air and heat. Three bedrooms include a recently remodeled sunroom now used as a comfortable bedroom with a small closet, a second bedroom with a large closet, and a spacious third bedroom. The single bathroom features a sink, toilet, and stand-up shower, with the stacked washer and dryer conveniently located inside. Just outside the bathroom is a large floor-to-ceiling cabinet for towel storage. The walk-out basement adds another 964 square feet and opens directly onto the lower patio. It has some wall paneling, a large window with a lake view, and a concrete floor. While unfinished, it would make an excellent family room, game room, or extra living space—and it already feels like a natural spot to add a bathroom. Few homes here have a basement, and it also serves as a practical safety area during storms. This is a solid waterfront property with real potential to make it your own. Quiet location, direct lake access, and a practical layout ready for the next family to enjoy.
