OPEN HOUSE SATURDAY, 9/6/26 from 10am-12 pm with a boat ride around the lake for those unfamiliar with the beauty of Sylvan Lake! This Sylvan Lake setting captures the easy comfort of lakefront living in a quiet, alcove set back from the main activity of the lake. The cottage sits close to the water with a sandy shoreline access, a private dock, and inviting outdoor spaces made for gathering, relaxing, and taking in the views. Mature trees rise behind the homes, creating a natural green backdrop that adds privacy and a peaceful, tucked-away feel. Because the shoreline is set back from the broader lake, the water has a calmer, more sheltered character—ideal for morning coffee by the dock, launching a kayak, watching boats drift by, or enjoying long summer evenings with family and friends. It is a bright, welcoming cottage setting that feels both connected to Sylvan Lake and comfortably removed from the busier open-water activity. Inside, the cottage continues the inviting lake-house feel with a bright, comfortable living area designed to take full advantage of the water views. Large windows wrap the room with natural light and frame the lake as the focal point, while soft neutral walls, crisp white trim, warm wood-style flooring, and relaxed furnishings create a clean, welcoming atmosphere guests can immediately settle in to. The open sitting area offers plenty of room for conversation, movie nights, rainy-day board games, or quiet mornings overlooking Sylvan Lake. As a real estate opportunity, this property blends lifestyle and income potential beautifully: a desirable lakefront location, sheltered shoreline, private dock access, and an interior that already presents like a ready-to-enjoy vacation retreat. With a successful Airbnb rental history, the cottage offers buyers the added appeal of a proven short-term rental record, making it an excellent option for those seeking a personal lake getaway, an investment property, or both. Sylvan Lake is valued for its natural beauty and preserved lakefront areas. Tree-lined shorelines, quiet coves, and protected pockets of habitat give the area a scenic, peaceful quality. These natural surroundings and protected areas are enjoyable from the trails and bike paths that surround the lake as well! The fishing is some of the best in Northeastern Indiana and Sylvan Cellars is just around the corner with mid-summer concerts. There is also a back lot- just the right size to build a garage- that is part of the sale!!
