Property Description
For over 50 years, the iconic red house on Smith's Bay has been a familiar landmark on West Lake Okoboji. Now completely reimagined, this 4BR, 2BA waterfront home perfectly blends midcentury nostalgia with modern lake living. The thoughtful renovation preserves the character that made this home special while updating virtually every detail for today's lifestyle. Sold newly furnished — including décor, furniture, kitchenware, silverware, linens, towels, and the dock — it's truly move-in ready. Low-maintenance living means more time enjoying the lake with artificial turf, extensive updates throughout and maintenance-free finishes inside and out. A two-car garage, oversized parking apron, and seller-paid home inspection add even more value and peace of mind. This isn't just a remodeled lake house—it's one of Smith's Bay's most recognizable homes, thoughtfully restored for the next generation to enjoy. Classic Okoboji, beautifully reimagined.
