There are waterfront homes, and then there are homes that feel inseparable from the water. This light-filled retreat on Lower Beverley Lake belongs firmly in the latter category. Completely transformed by a major renovation just six years ago, this property offers the rare combination of a like-new home built just steps from the shoreline. New loft, kitchen, windows and doors, siding, lighting, electrical, a metal roof, and a full-length composite deck spanning the front of the home ensure years of worry-free enjoyment. In 2024, a beautiful three-season sunspace with gas fireplace deepened the indoor-outdoor connection, followed by a new bathroom in 2025 and a brand-new ensuite in 2026. To call this home "like new" is no exaggeration.There is something about this property that invites slow mornings. Sunlight pours through a wall of windows, and catching the shimmer of the water from inside can quite literally take your breath away. A deep exhale. A quiet sigh. This is the kind of place that slows you down without asking.What truly sets this home apart is something that can no longer be recreated. You simply can't build this close to the water anymore. The lake feels present in every room, with expansive views across the bay and a powerful sense of connection whether you're inside or out.The large, level lot invites lawn games, gatherings, and relaxed afternoons by the water. A flagstone sitting area with fire pit offers space for a crowd and long evenings under the stars. Inside, the layout is equally accommodating, with two bedrooms and a spacious loft that easily fits multiple beds while still leaving room to move. Need even more space? A generous bunkie with wood stove is ready to host overflow guests in every season. Lower Beverley Lake is a gem, and this home is something truly special. Nothing to do but move in, exhale, and begin enjoying the lake life you've been dreaming of.
