Property Description
Looking for the perfect Lake Sinclair getaway with room for family, guests, and all the lake toys? This fully renovated waterfront retreat at 249 Poinsettia Place sits on a fee-simple .5-acre lot in a peaceful cove at the end of a quiet road and offers approximately 1,543 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space. Originally built in 2000 by a builder for his own personal retreat, the home makes excellent use of every square foot with an open floor plan ideal for gathering and entertaining. The main level features one bedroom and one full bath, while the lower level offers two additional bedrooms, another full bath, and a spacious flex area that can serve as a game room, den, or additional living space. Two lofts off the main living area provide even more sleeping accommodations, with each offering room for a queen-size bed and a privacy curtain. Outdoor living is where this property really shines. Enjoy two open covered porches, including an upper-level porch with wire railing designed to preserve the lake views, along with a lower-level paver patio and fire pit. The private waterfront includes a generous dock and double boathouse equipped with a boat hoist and double jet ski hoist. Water depth at the dock typically ranges from approximately 5 to 8 feet, providing convenient access for a variety of watercraft. The home underwent a complete renovation in 2024 and features LVP flooring throughout, updated appliances that remain with the sale, and a main HVAC unit replaced less than four years ago. A 22kW Generac whole-home generator provides added peace of mind. Furniture, with some pieces differing from those pictured, will also remain along with the washer, dryer, and 10x12 storage shed. The property is currently zoned for short-term rental use, offering flexibility as a full-time residence, weekend lake retreat, or potential income-producing property. Adding even more value, the sale includes a separate lot located less than 1/2 mile from the home. Positioned on a hill with lake views, the additional lot offers future possibilities for recreational use, expansion, camper hookups, or potential rental income, subject to applicable zoning, permitting, and utility requirements. Whether you're looking for a turnkey lake house, investment opportunity, or a place to spend weekends on the water with family and friends, this property offers a unique combination of waterfront access, recent renovations, included furnishings, and an additional nearby lot. Come experience everything Lake Sinclair living has to offer-schedule your private showing today!
