In recognition that the majority of prospective buyers in the Lake Ashton community are couples, please note that this turnkey house has a master bathroom designed for a single homeowner. The master bath has a super large closet and a single vanity.
Furthermore, in order to maximize the open airy feel of this beautiful lakeside home, the previous owner also chose to use armoires and a portable pantry rather than built-in closets and pantry.
For any buyer who wishes to upgrade the master bathroom for a couple and add built-in closets, contractors are available to make the following changes, for the price range indicated below, and the asking price for the house has been reduced to accommodate most of these expenses:
1) Enlarge shower to 4'x8'
2) Close in large door to closet & plumb to accomadate double vanity
3) Turn commode & build a 1/2 wall for privacy
4) Add new entry to closet
Price range with choice of the tile selection (samples on site) to accomplish this from a local contractor as quoted $6500 - $6600.






Price reduced as concession for renovations to the Master Bath.
