The paver patio and firepit area offer plenty of space to relax and entertain by the water, while the newer lake-facing balcony provides stunning lake and western sunset views. Inside, the home has been extensively renovated while keeping its original cottage character. Hardwood floors, a Craftsman-style staircase, built-in shelving and drawers, glass door knobs add charm. The remodeled kitchen features quartz countertops, upgraded cabinetry, a tile backsplash, custom range hood, Bosch dishwasher, Big Chill range, drawer microwave, refrigerator and disposal.
