The kitchen offers more than enough space and storage for the family chef. Off the main level, a great combination of screened and open-air deck space offers multi-season use.

Venturing down to the lake, guests are first greeted by a fantastic fire pit with its own great lake views, then a private boat dock with additional sitting areas by the lake, as close as possible to lake paradise. This home offers its next owners the opportunity to create their own family lakefront legacy, just as the current owners have for the past 25 years.
