This wonderful family-style retreat features a large main cottage and a smaller guest cottage on 1.26 acres with 188 feet of lakefront on the west side of beautiful Lake Carlos. The main cottage features a vaulted beamed ceiling in a bright, open living/dining/kitchen area with fireplace and hardwood floors, 3 bedrooms, and 2.5 bathrooms. The guest cottage (a three-floor split-level) has 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and a large, natural-light living/dining/kitchen area with a beamed ceiling, cork floor, and fireplace. In addition, the lowest level is ready to be built out to accommodate 2 additional bedrooms and bath, or a large game room or family room---whatever fits a familys needs and style. Both houses feature large lakeside decks and a brand-new boathouse which offers a third deck for lakeside sitting. An oversized double garage and four parking spaces on a concrete driveway provide ample room for vehicles

With its broad lawn, mature trees, and beautiful perennial flower beds, this secluded wooded site sits above the largest of the Chain of Lakes, yet within easy reach of downtown Alexandria. This is the quintessential large family vacation home.
