About this home
Welcome to the lake life you’ve been waiting for on Lake Easy — a true ski lake where every day feels like a getaway. This is more than a home…it’s a lifestyle.
From the moment you step outside, you’re stepping into direct, ready-to-enjoy waterfront living with your private dock and covered boat lift, making it effortless to get on the water for skiing, boating, or sunset cruises. No waiting, no permitting, no additional expense — it’s all already in place and ready to use. Inside, the home offers a rare blend of timeless character and thoughtful updates. Original wood floors and architectural details bring warmth and charm, while a remodeled kitchen and approximately $100,000 in improvements create a move-in ready experience that still honors the home’s character. A newer roof adds peace of mind and long-term value, especially in today’s insurance-conscious market.
A standout feature of the home is the flexible guest suite layout, offering a private bedroom, laundry area, and separate living space ideal for a sitting room or office. This area can be closed off from the main home, making it perfect for guests, multigenerational living, or future income potential. With existing plumbing in place, there is also the opportunity for a buyer to add a private bathroom and create a true independent suite.
Days are spent on the water, afternoons by the pool, and evenings watching the sky light up over the lake. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, a weekend escape, or a property that offers both lifestyle and flexibility, this home delivers.
Located outside of a high-risk flood zone, this property also offers added peace of mind and affordability advantages for today’s buyers.
If you’ve been searching for true Florida lake living with character, modern updates, and room to grow — this is the one....
