About this home
Enjoy lake living at Shriner Lake, a 120-acre natural lake in the Tri-Lakes community known for its relatively calm, clear waters and excellent fishing and boating. With approximately 3 miles of shoreline, this all-sports lake offers recreation from morning to sunset. Lake frontage in this area is largely non-exclusive for public enjoyment. The seller currently maintains and utilizes the frontage area. This home offers 2,652 square feet of living space featuring 3 generously sized bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, plus a Basement level with endless potential. The basement spans 14' x 59', is fully climate-controlled, partially finished, and already plumbed for a third full bathroom (tub/shower combo and fixtures in place). Currently used for storage and housing mechanicals, it provides a blank slate for future improvement. All three bedrooms are located on the upper level, and each features sliding door access to a shared balcony overlooking the lake. The primary bedroom includes a gas log fireplace and direct access to the full bathroom. The main living level offers an open floor plan designed for gathering, complete with a large island kitchen with abundant counter space, cabinet storage, and breakfast bar seating, plus a huge pantry. The family room is anchored by a gas log fireplace with brick surround, and the level also includes a full bathroom and a separate laundry room with utility sink. Step outside to the stamped concrete deck, built over the basement foundation, creating a fantastic space for cookouts, entertaining, or simply relaxing with a lake view. Additional storage is plentiful with a 24' x 30' car detached garage and a 12' x 10' utility shed. If you’ve been looking for flexible space, beautiful water views, and access to one of the Tri-Lakes area’s most enjoyed natural lakes—this is an opportunity worth exploring. Call your favorite local Realtor, schedule your private showing, and take the first step toward making those Lake-life memories.
