The living room features a wood burning fireplace and built-in entertainment center and bookcases. Kitchen highlights include cherry wood cabinets, granite counters, a snack bar and built-in desk, and a doorway to the new expansive deck with lake views. A fully equipped cottage apartment with attached garage was also updated in 2024 which includes adding a mini split for heating & cooling.
