Opportunities like this rarely become available on Tri Lakes. Set on over half an acre with water wrapping around nearly the entire property, this beautifully renovated 3 bedroom, 2 bath ranch occupies one of the most remarkable lots on Round Lake. With expansive waterfront, a private beach area, pier, meticulous landscaping, and unforgettable sunset views, this is a property that leaves an impression the moment you arrive. Inside, nearly every space has been refreshed and thoughtfully updated. Brand new luxury vinyl plank flooring flows throughout the home alongside new trim and fresh paint, while the recently renovated primary bathroom adds another polished touch. The open concept kitchen, dining, and living areas create an inviting space for entertaining and everyday life, filled with abundant natural light. A window lined sunroom may quickly become your favorite room in the house, offering panoramic views of the water and surrounding landscape. Major improvements have already been handled, including a full tear off roof replacement approximately four years ago, a 2020 water heater, and HVAC installed in 2017. An attached one car garage is complemented by two additional sheds. The larger shed features electricity, attic storage, and a dedicated workbench area, while the second provides convenient storage for all the necessities of lake life. Step outside and it becomes easy to understand why properties like this are so rarely available. Round Lake is a peaceful non ski lake ideal for kayaking, fishing, swimming, and leisurely boat rides, with a nature preserve across the water creating a serene backdrop where deer and wildlife are frequent visitors. Round Lake also connects to Little Cedar and Big Cedar, giving you access to even more of the Tri Lakes experience, including daily ski time on Big Cedar from 1 to 4 PM. Tri Lakes is more than a place to live. It is a community people fall in love with and rarely want to leave. Golf carts are a favorite way to get around, neighbors know and help one another, and nearby favorites include Tri Lakes Park, Portside Pizza, and Big Eyed Fish overlooking the water. Community events, an incredible annual fireworks show, boating, sunsets, and summers on the lake make life here feel like a getaway without ever leaving home. Move in, slow down, and experience the kind of lake life that is increasingly difficult to find.
