Tucked into a mature & desirable neighbourhood on the shores of Fairy Lake, this classic brick bungalow offers a rare combination of natural beauty, sought-after location, & valuable waterfront features. With lovely curb appeal & a welcoming interlock brick driveway, the home is surrounded by manicured gardens & thoughtfully landscaped grounds that blend with the rolling terrain leading to the lake. Enjoy coveted south-facing waterfront exposure. The topography gently slopes to the waters edge, where youll find a small set of stairs for easy entry into the lake & an exceptional shoreline setting. While the existing dock & boathouse require repair, the generous footprint they offer is a significant asset, presenting a rare opportunity to create something truly special right on the water. Inside, the main floor features a spacious & bright foyer, a large eat-in kitchen ideal for family gatherings, & a formal dining room for entertaining. The living room, complete with a natural gas fireplace, is warm & inviting & opens into a charming sunroom that leads to the back deckperfect for taking in the serene lake views. Two comfortable bedrooms are located on the main level, along with a well-appointed 4pc bathroom that includes a jetted tub & separate shower. A dedicated laundry room & convenient inside access from the attached double garage round out the main floor. The walkout basement expands the living space with a large recreation room anchored by a 2nd natural gas fireplace. A bright bedroom with large windows, a 3pc bathroom & ample storage space add to the home's functionality. From the lower level sunroom, step into the peaceful rear yard & enjoy the quiet privacy of this well-loved property. This is a unique opportunity to secure a waterfront home with incredible potential in one of Huntsvilles most cherished lakefront communities.
