    What's special

    Welcome to your perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and lifestyle. This beautifully updated 3-bedroom home offers thoughtfully designed living space, set on a spacious 0.45-acre lot just steps from the water. Step inside to find a home that has been completely remodeled from top to bottom. The kitchen is a standout feature with custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and updated appliances, all complemented by durable luxury vinyl plank flooring that flows seamlessly throughout the home. The updated bathroom adds a modern touch, while major system upgrades—including a new roof, new sewer field lines, and a newer HVAC (approx. 5 years old)—provide peace of mind for years to come. Outdoors, this property truly shines. Sit on your rocking chair front porch with a view of the lake. Enjoy a fully fenced backyard offering privacy and space to relax or entertain. Cool off in the above-ground pool, or take advantage of the fully finished 8x10 detached office, complete with electricity, insulation, and heating & air—perfect for remote work, a hobby space, or private retreat. For those who love the outdoors, this location is hard to beat. Direct lake access sits right across the street, featuring a convenient pull-off area ideal for launching kayaks or small boats, along with a great fishing spot just steps from your front door. Plus, Defeated Creek Campground is less than 3 miles away, offering even more opportunities for recreation and relaxation. This home delivers the lifestyle buyers are looking for—modern updates, functional space, and unbeatable access to the water—all at an incredible value.
