Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee overlooking the water, setting out for an afternoon boat ride, or relaxing by the shoreline at sunset, every day feels like a vacation. Spanning approximately 200 acres, Crystal Lake is known for its clear water and year-round outdoor enjoyment. Boating, water skiing, tubing, kayaking, paddleboarding, swimming, or fishing-are all just steps from your door. Inside, the home features a generous sized kitchen with plenty of cabinets for storage, a spacious dining room area, and a comfortable living room that leads out to the expansive screened-in porch with panoramic lake views. Two bedrooms are connected by an updated Jack and Jill bathroom and include a walk-in closet, while the third bedroom is served by an additional full bathroom, offering flexibility for guests, family, or a home office. The detached two-car garage provides valuable storage for vehicles, water toys, and outdoor equipment-a rare and highly desirable feature for lakefront properties.
