Lakefront living awaits on this beautifully situated home on a rare flat lot along the shoreline of Rough River Lake. This gem is found in the subdivision of Holiday Beach centrally located in McDaniels with a backdrop of North Fork's bridge & boat ramp. The property offers a highly sought-after end dock slip which is tucked in a cove on an unusually small dock string of three. Sitting in an idle-speed / no-wake zone, the property, dock & your boat are all protected from main-channel lake traffic. It's certainly a better than the average spot for floating, fishing, swimming & enjoying life on the lake. The large backyard provides easy lake access, expansive water views and relatively flat ground for a swing set, yard games or a garden. The covered pavilion provides a shaded gathering space for entertaining by day & makes for a cozy setting by the campfire after dark. It's complete with electricity for your crockpots, party lights & speakers to hear your favorite tunes near the water's edge. The large covered back porch is an enjoyable place to spend mornings taking in the scenic views and for grilling out early in the evenings while spying on the action at the boat ramp. Inside, you're greeted with warm hickory hardwood floors found throughout the kitchen, living & dining areas. The living room is anchored by a gas fireplace creating a welcoming space to gather on a cool night. Also on the first floor are a shared half bath, a dedicated laundry room & the primary bedroom which features a spacious walk-in closet & a full bathroom complete with a built-in shelving nook for your storage needs. On the second level, you'll find an oversized bedroom that is currently staged to sleep up to 8 people comfortably. This upstairs space has been a favorite with the kids & overnight guests, giving them their own private quarters with a roomy full bathroom & the home's other walk-in closet. This open second level is large enough to be converted into at least 2 bedrooms, should you prefer. The unfinished 1,030+/- SF, walk-out basement provides abundant storage as well as future potential. It is ready to be finished into additional living or sleeping space if desired & you can be comfortable year-round with the wall heater that's plumbed to the outdoor propane tank. The covered space beneath the deck, easily accessible from the basement, is ideal for kayaks & lake toys or you could transform it to be a covered patio oasis with a view. The home's circular driveway allows for extra parking right outside of the covered front porch. The attached 2+ car garage easily accommodates two vehicles and a golf cart with additional room for storage. While this home shines as a lake house retreat, it's equally well-suited for full-time living. It is near Ben Johnson Elementary within the Breckinridge County School District & just minutes from shopping, restaurants & more in McDaniels, Hardinsburg or Leitchfield. The property is connected to electric, city water, propane & has an improved septic system. High-speed, hardwired internet is also available in this area. The Pontoon boat pictured may be available for purchase. Dock to transfer with COE approval. HOA dues & neighborhood restrictions are not applicable.
