Welcome to one of Crooked Lake’s most exceptional waterfront properties. This distinctive Mid-Century Ranch offers a rare combination of architectural character, privacy, and exceptional lakefront living. Situated on more than an acre with approximately 275 feet of shoreline, the property enjoys a spectacular setting overlooking the protected Crooked Lake Nature Preserve. Walls of glass and expansive lakeside windows bring the outdoors in, showcasing open water, wooded shoreline, abundant wildlife, spectacular sunrises, and beautiful golden-hour light. Crooked Lake is widely regarded as one of Indiana’s cleanest and most beautiful natural lakes. This deep glacial lake offers crystal-clear water with visibility approaching 19 feet and depths exceeding 100 feet. As a 10 mph lake, it provides a peaceful environment for swimming, boating, fishing, kayaking, and paddleboarding, with less boat traffic and smaller wakes than faster lakes. A permanent short dock provides access to deep water, while a gently sloping private swimming and kayak launch area offers another way to enjoy the lake. Extensive updates throughout the home complement its original Mid-Century Ranch character while providing the comfort and convenience of modern living. The newly remodeled mid-century modern kitchen features a large island, Shaker-style cabinetry, warm maple countertops, abundant storage, and a built-in banquette. The adjoining three-sided glass sunroom creates an inviting space for relaxing, dining, or entertaining while enjoying panoramic lake views. The spacious living room features a striking Indiana limestone gas fireplace, and the primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a sitting area and generous ensuite bath. The private walk-out lower level provides flexible living space with its own kitchen, full bath, separate laundry, and accommodations ideal for guests, extended family, or multi-generational living. Additional amenities include an oversized attached garage, a separate lakeside garage for boats and water equipment, public sewer service, multiple high-speed internet options, and an additional lot across the road offering potential for a future guest house, pole barn, workshop, or recreational space. Conveniently located less than eight miles from Columbia City, with easy access to Fort Wayne and Warsaw, this property offers the rare opportunity to enjoy year-round lakefront living surrounded by nature while maintaining the conveniences of everyday life.
