Excited to present this 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms lake house which boasts an open layout, modernized bathrooms, abundant natural lighting, exclusive water access, and suitability for hosting multiple families. Nestled in a serene inlet, this property offers protection from boat traffic and a tranquil spot for swimming, lounging, and fishing. Yet, it's only moments away from vibrant activities, including the community beach, boating, tubing, and water skiing. The home's interior is equally remarkable, with a kitchen that serves as the focal point, boasting ample freshly painted maple cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, extensive countertop space, and a breakfast counter. Enjoy culinary adventures with a scenic backdrop of the forested lakeside. The kitchen flows into a generous dining space, ideal for festive gatherings with family and friends. The adjacent living area features a towering stone hearth, wooden beam ceilings, and plenty of space to sit and relax. The main level also hosts a master suite with deck access for lake views and a luxurious bathroom with a glass-enclosed shower and standalone jetted tub, creating a spa-like retreat for unwinding post-lake fun. The lower level will delight you and your guests with additional entertainment, gaming, and relaxation options. Flooring recently updated. It includes two bedrooms, a large bathroom, fireplace, and a roomy recreation zone. Step out to the patio and fire circle, offering numerous seating spots within a fenced area for peace of mind, keeping pets and little ones safely nearby. Enjoy your private dock, roomy enough for your vessel, showcasing splendid lake panoramas and a prime view of the seasonal pyrotechnics! The heated attached garage features workstations and accommodates vehicles and lake gear. This exceptional waterfront abode is perfect as a weekend retreat, permanent home, or rental for added income. Discover the delights of Lake Thunderbird: a private beach, 2 playgrounds, community center, swimming pool, tennis, pickleball, mini-golf, picnic grounds-all a brief stroll from your doorstep. Plus, boating, fishing, nature paths (Starved Rock is just a 40 minute drive), and year round community events.
