Description

This is more than a home — this is a rare waterfront legacy and lifestyle. A truly rare offering on the coveted Fonda Lake. This extraordinary all sports lakefront residence presents 80 +/- feet of pristine water frontage on one of Brighton’s most desirable lakes. Opportunities on this low-turnover lake are few and far between. Perfectly positioned on a double lot, this refined ranch home offers beautifully finished entry level living space, designed to embrace simplicity, comfort and panoramic lake views. Expansive windows bathe the interior in natural light, while the open planned design creates a seamless flow for both everyday living and romantic entertaining. At the heart of the home, a double-sided fireplace anchors the main living areas, creating warmth and architectural distinction. The walkout level features an additional fireplace, bedroom, bathroom and finished living space, offering effortless access to the waterfront and endless possibilities for recreation or relaxation. Step outside to an impressive composite deck overlooking the tranquil waters of Fonda Lake — an idyllic setting for sunset dinners, morning coffee, or hosting lakeside gatherings. The generous grounds provide exceptional privacy, abundant green space, and a flexibility for future enhancements. This three bedroom, three bathroom residence is thoughtfully appointed with hardwood flooring, spa-inspired bathrooms, and a luxurious jetted tub. Storage is abundant throughout, and complemented by a 2.5-car garage. In addition to the paved driveway, a separate paved parking area accommodates four + vehicles — ideal for hosting or storing recreational equipment. Located within the Brighton School District, this distinctive lakefront property offers the perfect balance of luxury, lifestyle, and location. Just a skip away from all downtown Brighton offers. Showings permitted only by appointment. Photography has been virtually staged for interior design. All measurements and lot lines estimated.

    "Brighton is such an amazing city to live in. There’s so many sides that people never see. You can venture downtown and have coffee, drinks, great food. You can go for a walk, cross bridges and get ice cream. You have city life, and solitary life all in one city. And the people of Brighton, absolutely love the attitude and vibes. "
