    Located just 1.5 blocks away from the lake and the iconic "Storm Lake" sign, sits 217 Lake Ave. This address boasts nearly 3000 square feet of living area in a very desirable neighborhood WITH a fenced-in backyard! The home has received some nice updates, including new carpeting throughout, kitchen countertops, painting of exterior siding, and sealing along windows and siding to increase energy efficiency. The property is surrounded by mature trees and has great curb appeal. The main floor offers two living areas, each with its own fireplace. The kitchen has abundant counter space and has a new walk-in pantry. For the professional who works from home, this property is perfectly equipped with an executive office on the main floor. Alternatively, a primary bedroom on the main level is a desirable option. There is a 3/4 bathroom on main, as well. Upstairs you will find the primary bedroom with its own bathroom and conveniently attached laundry. There are two other bedrooms on the second level, including one that could be used as a theater room or bonus room as it is expansive. There is a detached two-car garage with one standard-size door and one extra-tall door to accommodate a range of toys. Attached to the garage is a screened area with a quaint bench swing. 217 Lake Ave is a large home at a great price point.
