Property Description

Bring your vision to life in this charming corner-lot retreat, ideally situated across from serene Baker's Lake-a protected Nature Preserve where nothing can ever be built.

This home offers a rare opportunity to customize your dream space in a premier, forever-private setting.

Designed for entertaining, the layout features a partially finished walkout basement and two expansive decks overlooking your private corner lot and preserved lake views. Whether you envision a modern lakeside masterpiece or a cozy sanctuary, the heavy lifting is done-now it's ready for your finishing touch.
