The finest waterfront cottages don't just sit on the shoreline. They reorganize your whole summer around it. Positioned on sought-after South Drive, this Lake Vernon 4-season cottage delivers prized southern exp & big, uninterrupted lake views - the kind buyers wait for! And then you notice what really matters. Everything here draws you outside, toward the water...& that's where this cottage truly separates itself. A fully equipped outdoor kitchen, expansive decking, & incredible granite landscaping guide you to the dock, creating natural tiers for gathering, unwinding, & nights that end by the fire under the stars. The heated lakeside yoga studio, perfectly positioned for the best views - fair warning, guests may overstay. At the shoreline, it only gets better: a lakeside pavilion & an expansive dock become a destination of their own. Inside, the layout supports it all. 5 bedrooms & 3 bathrooms, including a main floor primary w/ ensuite. A propane fireplace anchors the living space, while a gorgeous kitchen & walls of windows & doors keep the lake in constant view. A warm, open cottage feel, where everyone comes back together at the end of the day. The walkout lower level adds another layer, rec room, sauna, & more bedrooms - all opening to a covered deck w/ the same uninterrupted lake views. There's even a cozy bunkie...someone will call dibs. Most furnishings included - just arrive! Lake Vernon is part of Huntsville's most sought-after waterfront - the 4-lake chain. Where a boat ride replaces the car. Lunch in town, a walk through the shops, dinner followed by a show... then home again as the sun begins to set. Behind the scenes, the essentials are handled: newer shingles (2023), full home automatic generator, forced air propane furnace, AC, drilled well, & fibre optic high-speed internet. A heated, insulated garage w/ 3 bays keeps everything in place, w/ ample parking to match. This is where the lake sets the pace. Where your summer is loved on the water!
