Property information

Seller shall pay $25,000 toward the principal balance of the Capital Lake Assessment at closing. Unique Multi-Generational Waterfront Home. Originally designed in 1968 & completely rebuilt in 2018, this exceptional premium waterfront property offers a rare opportunity for beautiful lake living combined with comfortable & flexible multi-generational living. Surrounded mostly by water & situated on all-sports Sanford Lake, this home was thoughtfully designed to provide both privacy & shared family connection. Designed to function as either a spacious single-family residence or a multi-generational home, the layout easily accommodates separate living areas while maintaining inviting common spaces for everyone to enjoy together.  Ideal for caring for aging parents, supporting family members with mobility limitations, promoting meaningful family interactions, & significantly reducing living expenses through shared household costs. The property also offers an attractive alternative to the rising costs of assisted living & childcare. One wing of the home features a private upstairs primary bedroom suite with granite bathroom, second bedroom, an office/game room, fully finished basement for additional living space, & an insulated attached two-car garage with attic storage & direct access into the home. The main-floor handicap-accessible wing was designed with full wheelchair accessibility & no-step entry. This private area includes a spacious primary bedroom suite with room for a sitting area with a couch & television, a granite bathroom, laundry facilities, & its own insulated two-car garage with attic storage. A separate hallway allows family members convenient access to the laundry & garage areas while maintaining complete privacy for residents of this wing. Connecting both wings is a warm & welcoming central family living area featuring a large kitchen, dining space, television room, reading area, & gas fireplace. Large windows throughout the home provide breathtaking panoramic views of Sanford Lake from nearly every room. A spacious screened-in porch & patio offer the perfect setting for relaxing, entertaining, & enjoying the waterfront lifestyle, with direct walk-out access to the lake. Located on over 600 feet of lake & canal frontage on the deep side of the lake, this remarkable property offers exceptional boating, fishing, kayaking, & year-round recreational opportunities. The canal bordering the property was previously known as one of the lake’s best crappie fishing locations. Additionally: independent furnaces with humidifiers, C/A conditioning systems, on-demand water heaters, separate thermostats for each wing, a whole-house generator, a lawn sprinkler system drawing directly from the lake, a boat dock, & pontoon boat lift (as is).
