A lake view cottage in the woods can now be yours! A large deck on the front of the house is fantastic for entertaining or just having a quiet dinner in the evenings. Sipping wine on the deck and watching the boats is so enjoyable the view must be seen to be fully appreciated. This alone sold the house for the current owners! You can do more than look at the 300+ acre lake, as a boat dock and launch ramps are provided by the Lake Meade Property Owners Association for your use. A nice variety of fish can be caught in the lake, which is stocked annually. The well-run Association also provides gated access to the community, full-time security patrol, a large swimming pool, many recreation areas along the lake, pavilions, sports fields, tennis and pickleball courts, and indoor facilities that are first-class. There are also many social groups open to new members, and it's easy to make friends here in a short period of time. This 1/3 of an acre property is filled with mature white oaks that provide welcome shade to help keep things cool on hot summer days. The sliding glass doors on the deck lead into the cathedral-ceiling living/dining room area, where a gas fireplace creates a cozy atmosphere during colder weather. On either side of the fireplace are two storage areas, and behind the fireplace is a very generous stepped storage area which functions as an attic. The open floor plan includes the kitchen area, and it's great to have a lake view from the kitchen. All three bedrooms have new paint and new solid vinyl plank flooring. The main bathroom has also been redecorated with new wall finishes, new solid vinyl marble-look flooring, and a new vanity. Each bedroom has large closets. The half bathroom was updated by the previous owner. The basement has a workshop area and a nice-sized living space (24' 5” X 12' 10”) with a gas fireplace. (It is currently being used for storage.) Two glass sliding doors open to a porch area below the front deck. The lake can be seen from there, also. A grass-covered ramp provides easy access from the lower level to the driveway. In the fall of 2021, the previous owner installed a new metal roof, new vinyl siding, four sliding Pella glass doors, and two gas fireplaces. They also installed a new heat pump, water heater, and water softener. This house is being sold furnished, so you can move in on closing day and enjoy life at the lake. What the owners love about this home: We love the front deck because of the view of the lake. We eat meals there on nice days. We often linger there till dark. Nature abounds there too. We love watching the Bluebirds and Wood Peckers that frequent the front yard. The lake attracts Ospreys and Bald Eagles, which are so majestic as they soar over the lake. One summer, we had a pair of Barred Owls nesting nearby, and we spent many evenings watching the trio hunt and listening to their calls. We also love the many neighbors that have become friends, and we even meet up with some of them in Florida, as a number of them are snowbirds like us. We also love the fact that when we're gone for the winter, we don't have to worry about our home due to the security this gated community provides
