Waterfront, 5 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath home for sale. In 2022, home sold under land contract that fell through and is now back to original owners. The original owners lived here for over 18 years enjoying the lake life and raising their family in a peaceful neighborhood. This house is in great condition and is awaiting the next family to create a lifetime of memories. This waterfront home was designed for entertaining and hosting large gatherings with sleeping accommodations for over twelve people! Square footage of living space is approximately 3,700 sq ft (2464 sq ft upper two levels + 1232 sq ft basement = 3696 sq ft). Features of home include: recently finished basement with a built-in bar which was hand crafted out of pallets and reclaimed wood from an old church in Wisconsin. The basement contains a main room, a 10x10 bathroom, and a bonus room which could be used as a game room, a sixth bedroom, or storage. The main level is an open floor plan with a stacked stone gas fireplace. The lower-level bedroom includes an attached bathroom. This bathroom was completely remodeled with a doorless shower, a jet bathtub with quartz surround, stylish vanity, and custom shelves. The master bedroom is on the second floor, and contains almost 500 square feet of living space, a huge 11x8 walk-in closet, plenty of windows for abundant sunshine, and a 27-foot-long balcony with views of the channel behind the house. There is an oversized heated three car garage with ten-foot ceiling and rows of heavy-duty shelving for all your storage needs. There is more than enough room to store all your lake "toys" along a driveway big enough to store a boat or park 12 cars. Upgrades to the house: new appliances added in 2018. A new water softener, hot water tank, and furnace 1 of 2 added in 2019. A new Seawall and dock added in 2012 in addition to new roof on south side of the house in 2012, and new roof on north side of the house added in 2018. In 2020, a new patio, fire pit, and pergola were added to further enjoy the property with family and friends. The channel can accommodate deep v-hull boats and because there is no current, boat lifts can stay in the water all winter which saves on storage and slip fees! For the price, this house has a lot to offer compared to other Chain O'Lakes homes. This house is NOT in a flood plain! Come see it for yourself!
