Property Description
A refined Lake Sara waterfront offering with the acreage, privacy, and lifestyle features buyers rarely find in one property. Set on approximately 1.57 acres in a private cove, this move-in ready Effingham lake home offers just over 3,700 finished sq. ft. across four finished levels, creating flexible space for guests, entertaining, remote work, hobbies, or multi-generational living. The remodeled open-concept kitchen features Amish-made cabinetry, quartz countertops, a large island, and updated finishes that feel both polished and practical. Flowing from the open kitchen and living area, the covered porch extends the main living space outdoors, while the fire pit area, boathouse with lift, and rooftop dock deck add to the lake lifestyle. A heated attached garage, detached garage with full loft storage, custom built-ins, walk-in closets, and extensive organization complete a rare Lake Sara combination of waterfront, acreage, privacy, storage, and elevated move-in ready condition.
