From the listing

Welcome to the lake life you’ve been waiting for on Lake Easy, a beloved ski lake where every day feels like a getaway. More than a home, this is a lifestyle—days on the water, afternoons by the pool, and evenings around the fire pit as the sun sets over the lake. Set along the shoreline of Lake Easy, this one-of-a-kind home offers direct waterfront access and a white-sand shoreline perfect for enjoying everything lake life has to offer. A removable private dock and covered boat lift are currently in place and available for separate purchase, but are not included at the current list price. Inside, timeless character meets thoughtful updates. Original wood floors and architectural details preserve the home's historic charm, while a beautifully remodeled kitchen and approximately $100,000 in improvements provide the comfort and convenience of modern living. A newer roof adds another important advantage in today's insurance-conscious market. The flexible guest suite is another standout feature, offering a private bedroom, laundry area, and separate living space that can serve as a sitting room or office. The area can be closed off from the main home, creating possibilities for guests, multigenerational living, or future income potential. Existing plumbing also provides an opportunity to add a private bath and create an even more independent suite. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, weekend escape, or a waterfront property with character, flexibility, and room to make it your own, this home delivers. Located outside a high-risk flood zone, it offers additional peace of mind for today's buyer. Historic charm. Modern updates. Poolside afternoons. White-sand shoreline. And a ski lake waiting just outside your door. Life comes easy on Lake Easy.
