Lake Gaston is known as 34 miles of paradise, and this should be your piece of it. Completely remodeled and full ofcharm, this ranch-style bungalow offers the kind of lake living people come here looking for—an easy walk to beautiful deep water on a sought-after section of the lake, a cleared shoreline, incredible sunsets, and spaces that make you want to stay for as long as life lets you. Inside, nearly everything has been updated, including the kitchen and appliances, windows, flooring and bathrooms. The interiors feel fresh, comfortable and relaxed enough for wet feet and easy lake days. The outdoor living spaceshere will steal your heart. The expansive screened porch, front porch and multiple decks were all designed for enjoying the lake from morning until sunset. The large, fenced yards offers plenty of room to play, while fruit trees, raised garden beds and thoughtful landscaping give the property even more personality. An automatic gated entry adds privacy and convenience. The double boathouse on more than 120 ft of cleared shoreline has shaded seating, fun bar, boat/jet ski lifts and a welcoming fun vibe for long days spent on the water. Then there is the 560-square-foot detached flex space/shed and a garden office/workshop—twospaces that are unexpected, versatile and one of the best surprises on the property. Furnishings are also available for purchase, making this an easy opportunity to step right into lake life. THIS is Paradise on Lake Gaston.
