    What's special

    Set on the shores of Lake Chaffee, this waterfront ranch offers easy one level living with peaceful views and year-round recreation right outside your door. This beautifully renovated home provides a comfortable, move in ready layout ideal for buyers seeking simplicity, accessibility, and a relaxing lifestyle. The main level features an inviting open floor plan with a vaulted beadboard ceiling that adds warmth and character. The remodeled kitchen, with charming glass paned pocket doors and functional breakfast bar, is surprisingly spacious for a lake home. The updated full bath showcases a walk-in shower with glass sliding doors. Hardwood floors, Pella windows, an oversized Pella slider to the deck, and overall craftsmanship reflect the quality throughout. A half bath and laundry room combo further enhance the convenience of true one level living. The home is equipped with propane forced air heat and newer central A/C. Outdoor spaces are a true highlight and fully embrace lake living. The Ipe wood wrap around deck features sleek cable balusters for improved lake views and a gazebo that creates additional gathering space for friends and family. The yard is beautifully landscaped and includes a dedicated firepit deck right at the water's edge. The oversized lot offers excellent functionality with multiple storage sheds - the largest (12x20) is powered, making it an ideal workspace for tools, charging equipment, and more. Two additional garden sheds and covered storage under the deck provide space for paddle boats, canoes, and kayaks. The walkout lower level also includes a small workshop area for hobbies or storage. There are 4-5 parking spaces-a rare convenience for lake properties. Whether you're downsizing or seeking a manageable second home, this lakefront ranch delivers comfort, convenience, and a serene setting on one of Ashford's most beloved lakes.
