Small footprint, BIG transformation, and a whole lot of lake life! Whether you're ready to stop renting, dreaming of your own getaway near the water, or simply looking for a charming place to call home, this adorable Cedar Lake cottage has so much to offer. Perched on a hill just blocks from Cedar Lake, enjoy views toward the lake and easy access to local diners, coffee shops and all the fun of lake living. The public boat launch is only about 5 minutes away, with plenty of room on the property to park your boat. In 2024, this home was stripped down to the studs and almost completely rebuilt--far more than a cosmetic remodel! Improvements include new electrical and lighting, water and drain piping, windows and doors, insulation and drywall, interior doors and trim, flooring throughout, plus 3 mini-split HVAC units with an outdoor condenser and heat pump. The beautifully updated kitchen is made for gathering with new cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances and a large center island. The primary bedroom features a private bath with walk-in shower, while a hallway powder room is perfect for guests. A cozy loft adds extra flexibility and space for overnight visitors. Even more big-ticket improvements include a new well pump and storage tank, whole-house water softener with reverse-osmosis system, exterior-vented bathroom fans, new deck boards and updated landscaping. Perfect as a first home or your own little Cedar Lake retreat. Small home, BIG new life--and lake living right outside your door!
