Life is so much better at the lake! Tucked away on a dead-end street in the private Lake Cardinal community, this well-kept three-bedroom, one-bath lakefront home is a rare opportunity in a community where homes seldom come up for sale. Cherished by the same family for many years, it's ready to be your summer getaway or year-round home. Start your morning with coffee on the enclosed rear porch, where wraparound windows take in the water, then spend the afternoon casting a line in the stocked lake. You'll enjoy lake views from both the rear patio and the driveway side of the property. Inside, genuine knotty pine walls and a living room fireplace give the home its cottage warmth, while a pellet stove makes the enclosed porch a cozy spot on cooler days. An oversized bedroom with a separate exterior entrance offers plenty of room for overnight guests. Updates include new kitchen flooring, a new refrigerator, and select newer windows, including some on the enclosed patio. The roof is approximately eight to nine years old, and the home has electric baseboard heat and a crawl space. Furnishings are negotiable, making it easy to settle in and start enjoying life on Lake Cardinal.
