This 3-bedroom, 2-bath Cape Cod-style lakefront home makes that dream a reality. Lovingly maintained by one family for 35 years, this home offers the perfect blend of classic charm and modern comfort. The updated kitchen features marble countertops, a Viking gas range, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator. The living and dining area's wall of sliders frames breathtaking lake views and opens to an expansive screened porch. Multi-level decking leads to the water's edge, where endless summer fun awaits-canoe, paddleboard, kayak, fish, or swim right from your backyard. The main level includes a guest bedroom and an updated full bath. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat with vaulted ceilings, a spa bath, walls of windows, and a private deck for morning coffee or stargazing. Modern conveniences include central air, a Generac generator, and a storage shed. An additional lot across the street provides privacy, and residents have access to two association beaches. Move-in ready and waiting for you. Don't miss this lakefront treasure, located on beautiful Rainbow Lake.
