About This Home

This 2025-built lakefront home on Island Lake blends refined finishes and thoughtfully designed spaces for both gathering and quiet retreat. Spanning 1,870 square feet, this beautifully crafted 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath Craftsman-style home offers quality construction with an inviting warmth that makes every day feel like a getaway. Inside, an open, light-filled layout is oriented to the lake, with windows framing peaceful water views from nearly every angle. The kitchen opens to the living and dining areas, creating a natural hub for entertaining. It features KraftMaid soft-close cabinetry, granite countertops, a generous island with bar seating, a commercial-grade triple-basin sink, GE stainless steel appliances, and a water purification system. Solid-core Craftsman-style doors add warmth and lasting quality throughout. The walk-out basement expands the living space with 13+ foot ceilings, a full bath, radiant heated floors, and direct access to a large lakeside concrete patio—ideal for hosting, a second living area, or a potential third bedroom. The maintenance-free exterior includes James Hardie fiber cement siding with limestone veneer accents, along with Andersen windows and doors. Two expansive composite decks offer tranquil views of Island Lake—perfect for morning coffee or evening unwinding—while a custom three-level retaining wall and fire pit create an inviting lakeside setting. Surrounded by state land with access to Waterloo Recreation Area, scenic trails, and the Border-to-Border Trail, this home offers a rare blend of privacy and recreation. Whether a primary residence, luxury lake house, or second home, it’s a place to gather, recharge, and enjoy life on the water.
