Wake up just steps from Cedar Lake, where every day feels like a getaway and every evening ends with a sunset over the water. Looking for the perfect weekend escape or year-round retreat where you can relax, boat, and unwind? Piers are available for a boat through the HOA for just an additional $60 per year, welcome home! Originally built in the 1950s and fully renovated in the early 2000s, this charming home with lake rights to Cedar Lake blends timeless character with modern comfort - the ideal mix of classic style and easy living. Inside, you'll find an inviting open floor plan filled with natural light and hard-surface flooring throughout, including hardwood floors in nearly every room.

With an average depth of over 40 feet and a welcoming community, it's perfect for boating, fishing, paddleboarding, and year-round enjoyment - from summer swims to winter ice-fishing and cozy fireside nights.
