One of the biggest challenges with lake homes in Big Canoe is access to the water. That's what sets this property apart. Positioned below the road, the home enjoys a gentle, easy path to the shoreline-making it simple to launch kayaks, paddleboards, and canoes or simply enjoy a quiet afternoon by the water. It's a setting that encourages everyday use of Lake Petit rather than just admiring it from afar. Inside, panoramic Lake Petit views take center stage. Vaulted ceilings, tongue-and-groove wood accents, and a wall of windows create a light-filled main living space designed to capture the beauty of the water throughout the seasons. Recently refinished hardwood floors and a rebuilt upper deck further enhance the home's connection to the outdoors, while the sunroom provides a peaceful place to enjoy morning coffee or evening sunsets over the lake. The main-level primary suite offers privacy, lake views, and its own fireplace-creating a comfortable retreat after a day on the water. The terrace level is designed for entertaining and extended stays, featuring three additional bedrooms, a media room with upgraded WiFi, and a second family room with fireplace and pool table that remains with the home. Outdoor living is equally impressive. Upper and lower decks overlook the lake, including a hot tub on the terrace level. A professionally designed stone pathway provides direct access to the shoreline, while a discreet winch system beneath the deck simplifies transporting kayaks, paddleboards, and lake equipment. Beyond the lifestyle, the home offers substantial value through significant capital improvements already completed. Recent investments include a new roof, new terrace-level HVAC system, structural reinforcement of the decks, engineering certification of deck integrity, a rebuilt upper deck with upgraded railings, refinished hardwood floors, replacement window installation with new casing and seal, fresh paint, enhanced landscaping, and professional tree pruning and removal to improve lake views. While some buyers may choose to update certain cosmetic finishes over time, the major systems, structural components, and outdoor improvements have already been addressed through substantial recent investments. This allows the next owner to focus on making the home their own while enjoying confidence in the property's underlying condition. The home is also offered below a recent professional appraisal, creating a compelling opportunity for buyers seeking a Lake Petit waterfront property with exceptional access, extensive recent improvements, and the ability to tailor cosmetic updates to their personal style. Lakefront homes in Big Canoe remain among the community's most limited inventory. Properties that combine easy lake access, panoramic Lake Petit views, a main-level primary suite, significant recent investments, and the everyday lake lifestyle offered by Big Canoe rarely become available.If your agent is not able to show this home to you, no worries.
