Tucked away on a waterfront corner lot on Lake Palestine, this rare find offers the perfect mix of lake life and functionality. Located just minutes from Tyler with easy access to Hwy 155, plus nearby shopping and the new medical facility at the corner of 155 and 344, you’ll enjoy peaceful waterfront living without sacrificing convenience. Situated on just under half an acre, this 3-bedroom, 3-bath home features an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area with rustic charm paired beautifully with updated modern finishes. The spacious living room is anchored by a fireplace and large windows that bring in natural light and scenic views. The kitchen offers generous prep and storage space, updated finishes, and a reverse osmosis system, while a separate office provides the perfect space for working from home, hobbies, or additional flex space. Outside is where this property truly shines. In addition to waterfront access and a boathouse, you’ll find a massive detached garage and shop with ample room for vehicles, equipment, hobbies, and workspace, complete with an engine service puller and water drain. The property is also well-equipped for RV owners with two hookups onsite. The boathouse also has an additional upper-level space that could serve as extra storage or a fun flex space (poker room perhaps?!). There’s also a storage shed with lean-to, a home generator, and hot tub - all staying with the property. A short drive to the public boat ramp makes getting out on the water even easier. Several recent updates add peace of mind, including a new bulkhead, a new septic pump, and a new mini splits in the guest bedrooms. This waterfront retreat is move-in ready from day one.
