About this home

Modern Craftsman design meets relaxed lakefront living in this 4-bed, 2-bath home on sought-after Ideal Avenue. Hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, and a kitchen that flows naturally into the living and dining spaces — anchored by a fireplace that earns its keep in every season. Big windows frame the water throughout. Outside, an expansive deck overlooks the lake for sunset dinners and slow mornings. Shallow, swimmable shoreline. Front porch, detached 2-stall garage, and recent updates including LP SmartSide siding and new windows mean you move in and enjoy it. Walkable full-time neighborhood with a one-mile loop, quick Highway 97 access. A rare lakefront opportunity in a home that's been loved and cared for — and is ready for its next chapter.

How SODL buyer credits work

When you buy with SODL, the brokerage charges a flat $3,000 platform fee at closing. The remaining buyer-side commission (typically 3% of the purchase price) is credited directly back to you at closing, reducing the cash you bring to the table.

  • Tour homes with SODL’s flexible showing network
  • Submit offers and manage your transaction through the platform
  • Keep more money at closing through transparent flat-fee pricing

A clear, modern way to buy with expert guidance and meaningful savings.
