## Description

### Agent Description
Experience the best of waterfront living on Pine Lake with this beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home. Featuring 60 feet of private frontage and an exceptional sand-bottom swimming area, you'll enjoy clear, inviting water right from your own shoreline and stunning lake views from nearly every room. The walk-out lower level offers great space for entertaining, while inside you'll find large bedrooms, new flooring, fresh paint, and updated windows that bring in abundant natural light. Recent improvements include a new roof for peace of mind, plus a new hot tub and gazebo--perfect for relaxing year-round. The two-car garage includes an EV hookup and extra workshop space for storage or hobbies. Thoughtfully maintained and move-in ready, this home also includes a seller-provided one-year home warranty....See a complete list of home improvements and additional offerings in the documents section. New 36 ft Dock being installed early June.
