About 5539 Imhoff Ave SW

Incredible Opportunity on Howard Lake – 280 Feet of Lakeshore! For the first time since 1990, this unique lake property is available for sale! Situated on three separate parcels totaling 280 feet of lakeshore, this one-of-a-kind offering is packed with potential. One of the parcels is buildable, offering flexibility for future development or investment. The 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home is well-maintained with numerous updates over the years. One of the bedrooms features a private en suite with a large master bath. One of the bedrooms in the basement features a sink plumbed in. This area used to be a 2nd kitchen and there is a natural gas line plumbed in there as well, should a second kitchen ever want to be added back. Enjoy peace of mind with newer windows throughout and a 2-year-old roof on the house, shop, and garden sheds. Comfort is key with two central A/C units (one only 2 years old) and an efficient boiler heating system. For those who prefer forced air, the ductwork is already in place, making a conversion easy. Additional features include two off-peak water heaters for added energy savings and a full home generator in the event power is lost for an extended amount of time. Take in the stunning lake views from the sunroom and spacious living room, both filled with natural light. Step outside to the 30x8 screened porch—a favorite spot for the sellers to enjoy peaceful evenings and sunsets by the water. The attached 2-stall heated garage provides year-round convenience, and the 30x25 heated shop on the buildable parcel offers endless possibilities. The shop features 100-amp service and a dedicated furnace. Above the shop, you’ll find a fully finished 30x25 bunk-room with drywall, carpet, and off-peak heating—perfect for guests or additional living space. Extras include steel siding on both the house and shop, lake water access for exterior use, and the dock is included in the sale. Don’t miss this rare chance to own a beautifully situated property with flexibility, functionality, and unmatched lake frontage. Your dream lakeside retreat—or investment—starts here!
