Custom-built in 1988, this ranch-style home offers 245 feet of flat, prime frontage on Lake Wausau in a quiet, tucked-away setting on sought-after Pine Island near the Wausau Country Club. With its east-facing waterfront exposure, sunlight pours through oversized windows, and French doors seamlessly lead to a large, composite maintenance-free deck where mornings begin with coffee overlooking the water and evenings wind down with a glass of wine. The main level offers over 2,200 square feet designed for both comfort and entertaining, featuring an eat-in kitchen with dinette, counter seating and additional dining space that flows seamlessly into the spacious living area, anchored by a wet bar and wood-burning fireplace. The home is thoughtfully positioned to capture the waterfront setting from both the sunroom and the office as well. Vaulted ceilings and skylights enhance the bright, open feel throughout. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet, whirlpool tub and separate shower. The main level is complete with a second bedroom, full bath, and laundry. A rare find this close to the water – the full basement offers exceptional storage along with a guest room, ¾ bath, sauna, and convenient garage access. It’s not just the home that stands out – it’s the entire setting that comes with it. With easy year-round access to the lake, enjoy quick cocktail cruises, casting a line right off the shore, kayaking around Pine Island and winter ice fishing just steps from your door. The drive home feels just as special with peaceful surroundings through the Country Club setting leading to a private, low-traffic road – a place that feels like a retreat every time you arrive.
