Property Description
Sitting amongst an area of fine homes on the North side of Christie Lake is this pristine year round quality built home. Boasting over 3000 sqft this home has been designed to ''have it all'' and ''last''. Starting with 69 feet of prime water frontage on beautiful Christie Lake. Includes a rare personal boat launch. Christie Lake is a private lake with no public access, so this is a HUGE feature. As you pull in the driveway- you will already be impressed with the brick home, plush lawn with irrigation, plenty of parking, coordinating 20 x20 workshop and abundance of concrete flatwork to keep maintenance minimal. The workshop is well insulated, ample electricity and heat! Inside the home- you will appreciate the high ceilings on both floors. Builder sculpted tray ceilings offer height and dimension. Wood floors throughout main level. Unique panoramic dining area. Walk out deck for great lake vibes!
