Expect to be impressed with this like-new, move-in ready home in the prestigious South Shores Estates neighborhood. Home includes peaceful lake views with lake access directly across the street that includes half dock ownership for your boat hoist. Access to the lake could not be easier for an off-lake home. The main floor features a dazzling great room with 18’ soaring ceilings, a fresh kitchen, and a large master bedroom. A nice flow to the upper and lower levels completes this 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom lake beauty. Favorably located, you can effortlessly pull into your driveway without battling Okoboji traffic and enjoy plenty of space for entertaining and hosting guests. You will also love the covered decks, deep garage for storage, as well as backyard privacy for evenings by the fire. A short boat ride gives you access to the lakes and all they have to offer. Enjoy Arnolds Park fireworks from either of the lakeside decks! Simply put, South Shores Estates is a quiet, upscale neighborhood that provides the best home value with lake access at the Iowa Great Lakes.
