Overview

Description

Modern Craftsman design meets relaxed lakefront living in this 4-bed, 2-bath home on sought-after Ideal Avenue. Hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, and a kitchen that flows naturally into the living and dining spaces — anchored by a fireplace that earns its keep in every season. Big windows frame the water throughout. Outside, an expansive deck overlooks the lake for sunset dinners and slow mornings. Shallow, swimmable shoreline. Front porch, detached 2-stall garage, and recent updates including LP SmartSide siding and new windows mean you move in and enjoy it. Walkable full-time neighborhood with a one-mile loop, quick Highway 97 access. A rare lakefront opportunity in a home that's been loved and cared for — and is ready for its next chapter.
