Tucked inside a sought-after gated community, this waterfront retreat sits on just over half an acre with mature trees, elevated open water views, and a rare combination of open water views and protected cove frontage. Inside, the home is designed for gathering—featuring vaulted ceilings, a stunning stone fireplace, and an open-concept layout that flows seamlessly from the living area to a beautifully updated kitchen. A large island is complemented by updated countertops, backsplash, fixtures, stainless steel appliances, and a double oven. Hickory engineered hardwood flooring adds warmth and character throughout the main living areas. The main level offers three bedrooms, including a peaceful waterside primary suite with a walk-in shower and generous closet space. Upstairs, a game room and bunk room create the perfect setup for hosting family and friends at the lake. Step outside and enjoy everything lake life is meant to be—whether you're relaxing on the spacious deck, entertaining under the sun sails, grilling on the flagstone patio, or spending the day on the water. Built-in speakers extend through the family room, back patio, deck, and lower garden, creating the perfect atmosphere for entertaining. The boathouse features a newly updated upper party deck, and major updates like a 2022 roof, 80-gallon hot water heater with vacation mode, and newer windows throughout offer peace of mind. A two-car garage and extra-long driveway provide ample parking for guests—ideal for weekends at the lake and entertaining. Conveniently located near The Dock restaurant—known for its incredible cuisine—and just minutes from downtown Malakoff, where you’ll find local coffee shops, bookstores, boutiques, and antique stores.
