The kitchen opens up to the family room and features stainless steel appliances and an island for extra seating. With large sliding doors and plenty of windows throughout, this space offers an abundant amount of natural light, making you one with the beautiful outdoors. The dining room comes with a wooden table that comfortably seats six and is able to extend if needed for more space. Also included is a popcorn machine. Don’t forget to say hi to Buffy the Buffalo as you eat - she loves being a part of dinner conversation and meeting new friends.

Past the dining room is an open-concept fully equipped kitchen and living room. Perfect for a couple on retreat, or a large family celebrating a much-needed vacation, this area is perfect for entertaining. The kitchen has a pantry, breakfast nook, large stainless steel fridge, a microwave, stove/oven combo, and plenty of counter space to prep and serve food on the convenient bar seating area. The master bedroom has a king sized bed, smart television for you to access your favorite streaming services, and an en suite with a walk-in closet. The master bathroom features a separate tub and shower plus Japanese toilet with a bidet and heated seat. Don’t forget to open the sliding glass door to hear the local birds’ morning song.

The other two downstairs bedrooms are located past the fully-equipped laundry room. The two rooms each have their own closets, queen sized beds, and wooden dressers. The two bedrooms share a bathroom located across the hallway, outfitted with a bathtub shower combo, Japanese toilet with bidet and heated seat plus a vanity with sink. Located off the dining room is the home office. An adjustable standing desk and a small library await you for a convenient work-from-home environment if you need some peace and quiet to get any last minute work done.

Make your way upstairs and you’ll find two kid-sized bedrooms, a fully-outfitted bathroom including a Japanese toilet with bidet and heated seat, and a large common area with a comfortable sectional and window over looking the backyard and lake.

Outside the enclosed covered patio is the backyard. The entire backyard is fully fenced in, with space for kids and pets to run around. The black aluminum fence provides safety without blocking the lake views while the extra tall wood fence offers privacy.
