About the host
Hosted by Sarah V
What makes this property unique
When we found Water’s Edge, it was a renovation started but abandoned by the previous owners. Reinforcing the structure, tearing up the floors, and taking down walls to let in light and the lake view, it was a year long labor of love. The result is a large, bright, beautiful house with hard to find proximity to the lake.
