Lake Life Starts Here! Wake up to peaceful water views, spend your afternoons cruising the lake in your fishing boat or kayak, and end each day watching breathtaking sunsets from your own backyard. This beautifully maintained, one-owner lakefront home offers the perfect blend of everyday comfort and year-round vacation living. Built in 2003, this spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bath two-story home features over 2,200 finished square feet plus an unfinished walk-out basement with a rough-in for a future bath, giving you endless possibilities to create additional living or entertaining space. Step inside to a welcoming foyer, private home office, and a stunning sunken living room with soaring vaulted ceilings, skylights, and rich Brazilian cherry hardwood flooring that flows throughout much of the main level. The beautifully appointed kitchen is designed for gathering, featuring built-in appliances, pull-out pantry storage, stainless steel appliances, wine refrigerator, center island, and an open layout leading to the recreation room. Step outside onto the expansive composite deck-the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee while overlooking the lake or host family and friends after a day on the water. Upstairs, you'll find four generously sized bedrooms, including an impressive owner's retreat with double tray ceilings, a spa-inspired ensuite featuring a corner jetted tub, separate shower, and two walk-in closets. Outside is where this property truly shines. Enjoy summer days in the 18' x 33' pool surrounded by spacious decking, relax on the patio, or head down to your private dock for an evening of fishing or a peaceful ride on the stocked lake. With trolling motors only, the lake remains quiet and serene, creating a true escape from the everyday. Additional features include a 3-car garage, storage shed, fenced yard, six-panel wood doors, new HVAC (2019), new water heater (2023), and a brand-new roof and skylights (2025). Located on Ironhorse Heritage Trail and minutes from the Indiana Dunes National Park and Lake Michigan beaches, with convenient access to the Indiana Toll Road, I-80/94, and the South Shore Line, you'll enjoy the perfect balance of tranquil lake living and an easy commute.
