This home has been lived in and well LOVED for over 20 years and offers a large DEEDED Waterfront lot on Jackson Lake with approximately 92' of water frontage! As soon as you enter the inviting NEWLY INSTALLED front door, you'll be amazed at the space that's included in the spacious FIVE bedroom, 3 FULL bath home! This property has so much history to tell! It was previously a fishing hut from 1954 until 2004, when the home was TOTALLY REBUILT on the existing foundation with a new house design including adding the second floor and the dock was also added in 2004. You'll have to see the home in person to appreciate all that it has to offer! A few of my favorite features include the beautiful hardwood floors, a huge kitchen with a large island with extra cabinets for more storage space, a large dining room that has entrance to the back deck overlooking the beautiful lake. Extra dining space is available in the spacious breakfast room that also overlooks the lake. The cozy family room has a relaxing wood burning, stacked stone fireplace with tons of windows that offers beautiful lake views. The Oversized upstairs bedroom is currently being used as the MASTER RETREAT and includes a large sitting room/office with an amazing view of the water and double doors leading out onto your own PRIVATE VERANDA where you can enjoy relaxing in the mornings and evenings while watching the most gorgeous sunsets you'll ever see, and enjoy watching hundreds of birds visit. Both decks were recently upgraded to composite decking and updated hog wire fence panels that enables to feel as though you are sitting right on top of the water! There are two bedrooms on the main level; both have amazing lake views; The MASTER on the main floor has it's own full private bathroom and the second guest bedroom has a bath adjacent to the room for easy bath access. You'll have a ton of Summer fun enjoying boating and fishing from the stationary dock. Note that the dock needs some repairs & updating; the dock is not permitted but grandfathered in. The water depth is up to 3' at some times throughout the year. If it's a little chilly out, you can enjoy relaxing while sitting by the cozy fire pit or have some Summer fun making Smores by the fire. In 2009, a large detached workshop/garage was added that offers a ton of storage space. In recent years, the exterior of the home was painted, a new roof with 20 SOLAR PANELS was installed in 2019, the HVAC's were replaced in 2022 and 2024, the water heater was replaced in 2022 and the septic tank was serviced in 2022. Enjoy the upcoming Spring blossoms of several trees, flowers & plants that will make the yard colorful and beautiful throughout the entire year. This property should qualify for most financing options (FHA, VA and Conventional). Additional information; Per FEMA, this property does NOT require flood insurance. See map in photos. Tax records will state the property was built in 1954; however this home was completely constructed in 2004. The only original item from 1954 is the foundation.
