Three bedrooms and three bathrooms fill 2,413 square feet, and vaulted and high ceilings add height to the main living spaces. Inside, there is a mud room, an elevator, a central vacuum system, and a walk-in shower, with flooring in marble, tile, wood, and carpet. The kitchen includes a gas range and dishwasher.
Outside, a covered front porch leads to a single-car garage and a wide paved driveway with room for additional parking. A white vinyl fence and gate enclose part of the side yard, and mature trees surround the lot. The setting is waterfront, with lake, marsh, and water views.
