Introducing LAKESIDE LIVING that checks EVERY BOX for a residential lifestyle in a resort environment with a quiet, rural vibe. Offering water, land, trees, toys, main-floor convenience, a walk-out basement, good neighbors, good fishing & GOOD LIVING ... WATERSIDE. This is a special opportunity on EAST LAKE - the jewel at the heart of Princes Lakes - where skiing is a thing, "cocktail cove" is real, fishing is an art & summer weekends are the lure for the laughter & the splashing you most want to hear, right off your own private piece of paradise. 627 W Hemphill Dr has been this mecca since 2008, when its transformation from a tiny cottage to an expansive retreat began. Originally built in 1965, the current owner crafted it into the comfortable ranch it is today, complete with a spacious addition, circa 2010, that features a cathedral ceiling great room, with sunlit windows framing .76 wooded acres and a gas fireplace w/ stone surround @ its heart to keep it cozy in all seasons. A primary suite makes it comfortable for residential occupants, & 2 bedrooms in the original part of the house host guests beautifully. The W/O basement rec room hosts ping-pong tournaments & movie nights, complete with a dumb-waiter to run the snacks up & down. A murphy-bed bunk in one of the guest BRs delights the littles, & what grands won't want to unroll their sleeping bags w/ the cousins and tell ghost stories in grammy's sleeping loft? There's a road to the water to accommodate a John Deer Gator, which makes taking the coolers up & down all the easier, but there's also a path for a leisurely stroll, even a zipline if you're in a hurry. At the water's edge, you'll find a dock, a lift, a pergola & firepit, and plenty of land for sunbathing, camping & tossing a frisbee with your furry friends - everything you crave for a PERFECT weekend at the lake. East Lake is a private lake & the water is never crowded. It is the only lake in the area that allows skiing & fast-boating.
