## Description

### Agent Description
This ranch-style lake home retreat offers a peaceful, private setting on a beautiful timbered lot and is perfectly designed for relaxing lake living. The main level features three bedrooms, an open kitchen, spacious family room, and a formal dining area-all highlighted by striking trapezoid windows that frame scenic lake views. The lower level provides even more space to gather and entertain with a large recreation/family room, two additional bedrooms, plus a non-conforming bunk room-ideal for hosting weekend guests or extended family at the lake. Outside, you'll appreciate the tucked-in garage for storing your water toys, along with an additional detached garage for extra storage and flexibility. The home is being offered furnished, making it move-in ready so you can start enjoying lake life right away. Step outside to relax around the fire pit area, enjoy your floating dock, and take in the tranquil surroundings of this private retreat-an especially fantastic location to enjoy Sun Valley Lake's 4th of July weekend festivities!
