About This Home

Set on a rare .67 acre point lot with 270+/- feet of no bank frontage, this Ken Lake retreat captures water views in nearly every direction. Designed in a striking Northwest Contemporary style, the 3,400+ square foot daylight rambler features 5 bedrooms and 4 baths, soaring 20 foot beamed ceilings, and a dramatic brick fireplace with raised hearth. Floor to ceiling windows in the living and dining areas frame the lake and fill the home with natural light, while gas fireplaces with custom live edge mantles add warmth and character. The kitchen offers custom cabinetry and storage, a charming Bavarian corner nook, and seamless flow to gathering spaces overlooking the water. The primary suite enjoys tranquil views and an updated bath. A permitted chair lift, copper sinks, new carpet and paint complement thoughtful improvements including custom pavers, refreshed water and gas lines, and Andersen windows and sliders. Meandering paths lead to ponds, gazebos, a greenhouse, craft shed, fully fenced, fire pits and a lakeside patio wired for a hot tub. Swim, fish, kayak, or simply relax and watch local wildlife from your own shoreline. Community parks and a swim beach enhance this in town lakefront lifestyle, all tucked into a quiet cul de sac setting in Ken Lake. It's an entertainers dream! Don't let this go!
