About this home

There’s something special about looking out through the trees and seeing Lind Lake below. With 236 feet of shoreline, this two-bedroom lake home takes advantage of its elevated setting with lake views from both inside and out. The main-level living room features a vaulted wood ceiling, exposed beams, wood floors, expansive windows and a wood-burning stove set against a stone hearth. The adjoining dining area and kitchen keep the gathering spaces connected, while the screened porch offers another place to enjoy the wooded surroundings and fresh lake air. A bedroom and full bath are located on the main level. Downstairs, the walkout level includes a second bedroom and family room, providing additional space for family and guests. The garage adds welcome storage, while the unfinished area above offers possibilities for a hobby room, studio or additional storage. Outside, mature trees surround the home and frame views of the lake. Stairs lead down the hillside to the shoreline, where a grassy area provides space for kayaks, canoes and lake gear near the dock. With 236 feet along Lind Lake, there’s plenty of waterfront to enjoy.

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.
