This House on Eagle Mountain Lake Is Swimming in Benefits

Life at the lake…let us count what there is to like.

An escape for the city’s hustle and crushing traffic.
The calming effects of life on the water.
Loads of natural beauty, calm and serenity.
Abundant opportunities for water sports.
Connections galore to nature and the natural environment.
Fresher air to breathe.

Is life on the lake where the good life is? Quite possibly. Plenty of people do love living the lake life.

Here to make the case for living at water’s edge is the Azle property at 6808 Briar Rd.

Broker James Like built this house with a partner in 2022, and at the time it appraised for $655,000. It’s really affordable lake living.

“It would be a deal for somebody, that’s for sure,” Like said. “It’s right on the water. It’s also very hard to find something on the water that’s not in an HOA, and there’s limited inventory.”

Ready for Swimming, Boating

Even with weather like we’ve experienced the past week, a house near a lake comes with a relaxing view of the water. Stare into the depths of Eagle Mountain Lake any time of year and dream of the warm-weather activities there, whether it’s swimming, fishing, or boating.

The living room of this 1,879-square-foot home offers such view of the cove. The bonus is the windows providing this sight also flood the home with natural light. The living room of this open floor plan connects to the dining room, kitchen, and entryway, all light-filled spaces.

The home was built in 2022, so the modern amenities buyers expect today are ready and waiting. The kitchen, for example, is outfitted with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, a convenient island, and custom cabinets.

Rental or Lake Home?

In its recent past, the house had been used as a vacation rental, and it’s use as a destination for fun, friends, and family is apparent. Cubbies to stash all the gear and a bedroom stacked with triple-decker bunk beds set the mood for days in the sun.

The house’s covered patio is complete with TV wiring and an electric fireplace, that certainly speaks to the house being used 12 months out of the year. The backyard slopes to the water’s edge where there’s a firepit by the seawall to enjoy.

What’s Inside

When the sun goes down, the primary suite offers a place to relax. The spa-like bathroom features a walk-in shower and spacious walk-in closet.

The three-bedroom, two-bathroom home includes a utility closet for the washer and dryer, luxury vinyl plank flooring, and modern light fixtures. All this is waterfront fun is listed at $545,000, qualifying this one-story for our Friday $500,000 feature. The furniture, too, can be part of the deal, if the buyer wants to negotiate for the bunks, the bar stools, or even the coffee maker.

“There’s so much potential here,” Like said. “You could put a boat dock in, add a fence all the way to the lake, and maybe adding a hot tub off the huge deck for the winter nights.”
