Waterfront living awaits at 434 Mattox Avenue in the peaceful community of Placid Bay Estates. Overlooking beautiful Placid Lake, this property offers the perfect blend of relaxation, recreation, and scenic views. Spend your mornings sipping coffee on the expansive waterfront deck, cast a line from your deck, launch your boat for a day on the water, or gather with friends for evening cookouts while enjoying the tranquil lake setting. Inside, you'll find a spacious and inviting layout featuring two large living areas, including one with a cozy wood-burning stove, a kitchen with new appliances, and three comfortable bedrooms. The primary suite is a true retreat, offering direct access to the back deck and picturesque lake views right from your room. Major updates have already been completed, providing peace of mind for years to come. The windows, washer, and dryer were replaced in 2025, while the roof, heat pump, and hot water heater were all replaced in 2023. This is a rare opportunity to enjoy waterfront living with many of the big-ticket improvements already taken care of.
