60 Lane 201a Lake George

Lake George waterfront in Fremont, Indiana, with a primary suite on each level, a bunk room over the garage and storage built for the lake. Built in 2007, this home has 3,722 finished square feet, five bedrooms, three and a half baths and 52.66 feet of frontage on a quarter-acre lot. The lakeside three-season room is where the house points. Windows run the width of the front and two patio doors open back into the house, so Lake George is in front of you from the moment you sit down and the rest of the house is one step behind you. Inside, the ceiling opens up over the living area, a stone fireplace anchors one end, and the kitchen sits at the center with a granite island large enough that whoever is cooking stays in the conversation. A walk-in pantry keeps the counters clear when the house is full. The bedrooms are what separate this home from most of the lane. There is a primary suite on the main floor and a second one upstairs that opens to its own lake-view deck, so two couples can be here at once without either one taking a spare room. The fifth bedroom over the garage is the bunk room, and it is the reason people stay the weekend instead of the afternoon. Storage is the part lake owners notice. Built-ins and closets through the house, a finished crawl space, and room near the water for life jackets, floats and the rest of what the lake asks you to own. The garage is oversized and heated, with workshop space, a utility sink and floor drains, and there is parking for more than a couple of cars. Geothermal heat and central air. Outside, the lawn runs down to a sandy beach and a pier, with a large concrete lakeside patio and a built-in fire pit between the house and the water. Groceries in Fremont are 8 miles from the driveway, and Angola is 9.2 miles when the list runs longer than groceries. Most waterfront homes make you choose between the water and the room to use it. This one does not.
