Stunning Lake Sarah Two-Story with Panoramic Main-Level Views
Welcome to this exceptional lake front home, where expansive main-level windows frame breathtaking lake views and fill the home with natural light. The open-concept layout is ideal for entertaining, while the beautiful stone fireplace creates a warm and inviting atmosphere for everyday living.
Lake Sarah spans 552 acres and offers year-round recreation - from outstanding fishing (including walleyes) to tubing, skiing, wake boating, and peaceful cruises. The optional lake association hosts beloved community events such as Fourth of July boat parades, picnics, flotilla concerts, and more. Winter brings ice fishing, snowmobiling, and cross-country skiing right outside your door.
Soak in unforgettable sunrises from the cedar deck and enjoy sunsets from the included 62-foot roll-in dock. The property features an easy, gradual slope to 50 feet of shoreline, complemented by natural wild gardens and two charming sheds - including a newly resided 12’ x 10’ lakeside shed.
This lovingly maintained lakefront home is truly move-in ready, featuring a new dishwasher, washer, and dryer, plus major mechanical updates including a newer roof, siding, insulation (including enhanced foam insulation in the new addition and garage), furnace, and air conditioner. The primary suite offers a serene retreat with oversized lakeview windows, a walk-in closet, and an updated bathroom completed in 2021.
A stunning new addition above the garage (2023) adds valuable living space. It features a dedicated kids’ suite with spacious bedrooms, a homework area, and a private bathroom, all designed for both comfort and functionality.
The walk-out lower level is perfect for guests, in-laws, or teens, complete with a mother-in-law kitchen (new microwave and refrigerator), living room with a stone gas fireplace, bedroom, bathroom, and direct lake access.
Located in the city of Independence, this rare lakefront opportunity offers peaceful surroundings with everyday convenience - shops are just minutes away. Enjoy the highly regarded Delano School District, with open enrollment options for Orono or Rockford.
Don’t miss this special Lake Sarah gem - where every season brings something to love.
