Now offering the historic John L. Etzel house restored and meticulously maintained by current owners. This four bedroom home on a corner lot is situated prominently in the heart of Clear Lake. The welcoming gabled front porch which extends beyond the side of the house has turned posts and gingerbread ornamentation. The second story of the main facade is cantilevered over the first story. The exterior of the home and garage is freshly painted. The modern kitchen features custom cabinetry, Corian countertops, original tin ceiling and stack washer/dryer. The main level parquet wood flooring and kitchen maple flooring has been recently refinished complementing the beautiful woodwork throughout the main floor. Practically all windows in the home have been replaced. The original stained glass transoms are on hinges over new glass. Towering 8 ft. pocket doors divide the formal dining room and den. The bright and sunny three season room with crank out windows, curved greenhouse with tiled floor and half bath rounds out the main level floor plan. The upstairs features three bedrooms, full bath in addition to the primary bedroom with attached library or sitting room. The maid's room is directly outside the door which would make a great walk-in closet. You will love the double stall garage and workshop with electric "wifi" heater and upper level rec room with electric heat.
