Welcome home to this charming solid brick bungalow with coveted lake privileges on Sylvan Lake! From the moment you walk in, you’ll feel the character—beautiful wood floors, classic cove ceilings, and unique arched doorways (even in the tub area) give this home a warm, timeless feel.
Offering 3 bedrooms, one of which is a spacious upper-level bedroom, plus a partially finished basement perfect for a rec room, workout space, or additional living area—there’s room to live, relax, and grow.
The kitchen features thoughtful updates including a granite countertop, stainless steel sink, and updated faucet, while major mechanicals have been addressed with central air added for the main floor in 2019 along with a new furnace. The roof is approximately 14 years old.
Step outside to your private, calming backyard with a lovely patio—ideal for summer evenings. And the best part? Optional beach access to Sylvan Lake for just $45/year makes lake living incredibly accessible.
With additional updates including garage door and electrical/plumbing improvements, this home blends charm, value, and lifestyle in one package.
Note: Third bedroom is virtually staged as additional living space, bonus room in basement is virtually staged as a home gym.
Don’t miss your chance—homes with lake access at this price point don’t come along often!
