Overview

Description

Set along the peaceful shoreline of Lake Henry, this remarkable 2-story home has been beautifully maintained for over 112 years, blending rich history with thoughtful modern updates. Offering 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the home welcomes you with original Douglas Fir flooring, classic built-ins, and a striking wood-burning fireplace featuring a hand-painted mural that showcases the artistry of a bygone era. A spacious entryway, additional bedroom, and an oversized primary ensuite with a generous walk-in closet have been seamlessly added to enhance everyday living while honoring the home’s original character. The wraparound covered porch is a true highlight, finished with warm Douglas Fir tongue and groove flooring and offering stunning lake views—perfect for quiet mornings or unwinding at the end of the day. Inside, the updated kitchen provides modern convenience while staying true to the home’s timeless appeal. Upstairs, original basswood railings and posts add even more charm and authenticity. Adding to the appeal is a quaint 467-square-foot guest cottage complete with 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, a comfortable living area, and a cozy kitchen—ideal for hosting guests, extended family, or private use. A lean-to offers extra storage, while major updates to the foundation, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical bring added confidence to the next owner. The oversized 2-stall garage, paired with a separate brick-accented workshop, provides excellent space for projects, storage, or hobbies. This property would make an awesome VRBO or Airbnb opportunity, whether as a full-time investment or a part-time getaway with income potential. Don’t miss your chance to own a truly special piece of Lake Henry living, where history, charm, and lakeside serenity come together.
