Definitely not a drive-by! House is larger than it appears and had a total interior makeover in 2013. Where else can you find over 2 acres of land with 200 feet of water frontage, year-round living, close to town? Lake Ellis is great for kayaking, pontoon boats, swimming, fishing (summer and winter), and has a nice sandy public beach. Low boat traffic allows you peaceful enjoyment. The home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, mud room, adorable enclosed front porch, large deck overlooking massive back...Definitely not a drive-by! House is larger than it appears and had a total interior makeover in 2013. Where else can you find over 2 acres of land with 200 feet of water frontage, year-round living, close to town? Lake Ellis is great for kayaking, pontoon boats, swimming, fishing (summer and winter), and has a nice sandy public beach. Low boat traffic allows you peaceful enjoyment. The home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, mud room, adorable enclosed front porch, large deck overlooking massive back yard, garage entrance from back, and full basement. Town water! Updated septic. Year-round living on the lake, close to commuter routes, shopping, schools, medical facility! Don't miss out! Buy now and be in to enjoy the spring/summer season on beautiful Lake Ellis! Call for a showing! (note: currently rented, pictures are of pre-rental). Water frontage will need to be cleared of plant growth to create access.
