Property Description

Step into the opportunity to own a beautifully restored classic cottage in the heart of Clear Lake’s sought-after Surf District. Located just half a block from the lake and the Mars Hill public dock, and only a short walk from the iconic Surf Ballroom, this home perfectly blends timeless cottage charm with exceptional modern craftsmanship. Completely renovated down to the studs, every inch of this home has been thoughtfully rebuilt with high-end finishes, custom storage solutions, and unique design touches throughout. Even the laundry and mechanical space has been creatively designed to maximize functionality and potential. This property is being offered fully turnkey, with all furniture and décor included in the purchase price, making it ready to enjoy from day one. Outside, you’ll find multiple inviting spaces ideal for entertaining, along with a large detached shed spacious enough for all your lake toys and extras. Offering convenient single-level living and an unbeatable location, this one-of-a-kind cottage is truly magazine worthy. Original cottages like this are becoming increasingly rare — and even rarer to find one updated to this level.
