The main level features 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and a comfortable living space with access to a massive back deck overlooking the water—perfect for entertaining, relaxing, and taking in the lake views. The lower level is accessed from the exterior only, creating a separate private space ideal for guests, extended family, or potential rental use.
