For more than 70 years, this lake house has belonged to one family"”and it shows in all the right ways. Thoughtfully renovated in 2008, with an addition of approximately 2,000 square feet to the original cabin (which was taken down to the studs), it blends the easy, lived-in feel of a family home with the comfort and updates today's buyers expect. Featuring 5 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths, it's the kind of house built for a full table and a quiet porch in equal measure. This home lives far larger than its square footage suggests-two distinct living areas, an oversized kitchen space, and three separate bedroom/bath wings mean a full house never feels crowded. There is a space for everyone. A screened porch, that is over 700 feet +/-, is built for both ends of the spectrum. The porch is long enough for the whole family after a day on the water, quiet enough for one person and a book at sunrise. The primary suite has its own private porch as well. In the main living area, the 14-16 feet ceilings give it a real sense of volume and light. Tucked into Donohue Slough, one of the lake's most sought-after settings, this home is peaceful and protected, yet open enough to catch main-lake views and watch the sun go down from the porch. The 246 +/- feet of lake frontage wrapping this property gives a real sense of privacy without losing that easy, neighborly feel the area is known for. The detached 1,000 square foot workshop building"”with its own office and art studio/guest suite with full bath"”further enhances the livability. This area, ideal for guests, hobbies, or overflow living, is not counted in the home's listed square footage. Thoughtful extras include a quiet office nook and playroom at the top of the stairs. Floored storage in the attic and partially finished basement provide space that most houses of this size simply don't have. Lyptus countertops in the kitchen, pine flooring and porcelain tile are other extras that make this house special
