Just blocks from the lake and with lake rights, this home is move-in ready! One small bedroom (or large closet), one bath, two PIN's, with an updated, refurbished crawl space with new well tank & crawl space dehumidifier. There's also an outdoor shed. So many possibilities. Newer tankless, digital water heater with newer plumbing throughout! Newer 220 amp service! All updated windows and doors! Roof just about 10 years old. The spacious 2 car garage with heat has an epoxy floor and can be used in so many ways. Approximate 480sf home with a spacious garage, outdoor shed, and double lot with second pin.
