4-Bed Mountain Retreat — Steps to Fool Hollow Lake
Step inside a home designed for gatherings and quiet mountain living. This single-level residence offers 2,585 finished square feet with a layout that separates public and private spaces well: an airy living/dining area with vaulted ceilings flows into a family room, while a generous kitchen provides ample cabinetry and workspace for everyday life and entertaining. The primary suite is set up for comfort — dual-bath access, a jetted soaking tub, and a roomy walk-in closet create a private wing. Three additional bedrooms give flexibility for guests, a home office, or hobby space.
A major asset of this property is the front-level area that provides nearly 800 square feet of basement/workshop space — perfect for finishing into a recreation room, home gym, studio, or dedicated storage and work area while keeping the main living spaces uncluttered. Outdoors, the large covered deck expands your living area and offers a peaceful place to dine or relax beneath towering pines. The lot is practical: room for multiple cars, toys and an RV—rare in many lake-adjacent neighborhoods—and there is no HOA to restrict your plans.
Location is a standout. Walk a few minutes to Fool Hollow Lake for fishing, paddle sports and shoreline trails, or take a short drive to Show Low’s core for restaurants and services. Built in 2003 and well-maintained, this home blends comfortable turn-key living with immediate upside from finishing the workshop/basement area and small cosmetic updates.
If you’re seeking a family-friendly home, a full-time mountain residence, or a vacation property with rental potential close to the lake, this is a compelling offering. Contact the listing agent for showing details and to discuss possible improvements that can unlock additional value.
