Property Description

Lake Erie is not just the view here, it is part of the everyday backdrop. Set on 50 feet of lake frontage, this 4-bedroom, 3.1-bath Craftsman pairs the character of its original 1940 roots with a substantial 2021 rebuild that added the second floor and attached garage. A circular window, front balcony, cedar exterior, and distinctive Craftsman profile give the street-facing side character before the lake ever comes into view.Inside, more than 3,000 finished square feet unfold with spaces designed for both gathering and retreat.The expansive kitchen anchors the main level with generous cabinetry, multiple work surfaces and islands, wood flooring, and room to cook on a grand scale. Nearby, the living area brings warmth and character with a natural fireplace, exposed brick, custom built-ins, and a wet bar. A dedicated main-floor laundry adds everyday practicality.Upstairs, the layout continues with four bedrooms plus flexible living space. The 21x18 great room opens to a balcony, while the 17x14 library/study offers built-in workspace and shelving. Vaulted ceilings, hardwood flooring, another brick fireplace, and lake-facing windows give the upper level its own personality. Three full baths serve this floor, including spaces with distinctive details such as a clawfoot tub and skylight.Outside is where this home truly earns its lakefront address. A broad deck, brick-paver patio, pergola, landscaped lawn, and multiple seating areas create a series of places to dine, relax, and take in the water. The 0.52-acre lot extends approximately 225 feet deep, with Lake Erie directly beyond the backyard.An attached, heated 2.5-car garage with electricity and door opener completes the package.
