You won't find a more level first-tier property at Lotawana. This home is located close to Hwy 7, allowing easy access on and off the lake—on two lots, 159 and 160, East of the lake road. There is a possible 4th bedroom suite upstairs, and another possible primary bedroom suite downstairs once the third bathroom is finished. The upstairs room functions as a family room. Once a door is added, you could have a 4th bedroom. This would be a great starter home with a little TLC. It has a nice-sized swim dock in good water. The HOA is scheduled to dredge this cove, which will make the water depth even better.
