## Description

### Agent Description
Welcome to 15541 South Shore Drive, a wonderful two bedroom, one and a half bathroom cabin tucked away on the quiet back streets of Donner Lake. Sitting right on South Shore Drive, this home is perfectly positioned within close proximity to both the private homeowners beach and the public beach, putting everything Donner Lake has to offer just steps from your front door. This charming and fully original cabin is full of authentic character and soul. Upon entry you are welcomed by a unique enclosed entryway housing the washer, utility sink, and full bathroom, a wonderfully practical setup for rinsing off and cleaning up after a day on the lake or slopes before stepping into the main living space. The main floor continues with a bright living room and kitchen, with peeking lake views from the living room window adding a lovely touch to the everyday living experience. Head upstairs to find two comfortable bedrooms, one featuring a fun bunk bed setup perfect for kids and the other a queen bedroom with a half bath ensuite. Both bedrooms connect through pass through closets, adding a charming and practical touch to the upper floor layout. The wooded lot is beautifully surrounded by lush bushes and mature trees, creating a wonderfully private and serene outdoor setting. Two decks extend your outdoor living space, a front deck right at the entry and a second deck on the side of the home, both nestled among the trees in a peaceful natural setting. The home also comes complete with a kayak and dedicated kayak storage above the front deck, a fantastic bonus for anyone looking to get out on the water from day one. Sold partially furnished and ready to enjoy, this is a sweet and well appointed original Donner Lake cabin in an unbeatable location on one of the lake's most beloved streets.
