Some views have to be earned. At SU5, the bird’s-eye view of Lake Cherokee is worth every step.

Completely updated and move-in ready, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers 1,670 square feet on a shaded .62-acre waterfront lot. The open living, kitchen, and dining area feels bright and welcoming, with vaulted ceilings, built-ins, and a wood accent wall. In the kitchen, bright white cabinetry pairs with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. A generous island offers seating and plenty of storage, while a walk-in pantry, beverage cooler, and large picture window over the sink add the finishing touches.

Natural light fills all three bedrooms, including the lakeside primary with beautiful water views and French doors opening to the wraparound deck. Its bath features a double vanity, abundant cabinet storage, and a tub/shower combo. Two guest bedrooms have closets, and the guest bath includes a shower and doubles as the laundry area. Just off the living area, the screened porch is a shady spot to enjoy the setting.

Mixed hardwoods and cypress trees give the lot its natural Lake Cherokee feel. The sloped lakeside yard has stairs and a winding flagstone path leading toward a cozy patio with a firepit perched above the water and a two-stall boathouse with storage. A metal roof, all-electric home, shop with room for two vehicles and storage, ample parking, and easy access to FM 2011 complete the package.
