1601 - Greely

Welcome to 1653 Lakeshore Drive in Greely - a rare waterfront retreat that offers a level of peace and privacy you simply don't find anymore within city limits. Set on an expansive 163' x 304' lot (one full acre), this property feels open, quiet, and completely removed from the noise of everyday life. The lake setting is beautifully natural - not overly manicured or artificial. It's calm, organic, and surrounded by mature trees and wildlife, creating a deeply relaxing environment that feels grounding and restorative. Mornings are slow, evenings are quiet, and the world feels a little farther away here - in the best way. Inside, the main level is truly striking. The living and dining area features soaring 20-foot ceilings and a centered wood-burning fireplace that anchors the space and creates an incredible focal point. It's warm, inviting, and impressive without feeling overdone - the kind of room that instantly feels like home. This property is a perfect canvas for customization - a dream for someone who wants to create something special. The lower level is nearly complete, ready for finishing touches that could transform it into a games room, gym, home theatre, or guest space. Located on a quiet, family-friendly street with a nearby park and surrounded by beautiful homes, this is ideal for a family seeking tranquility, space, and waterfront living - all while staying connected to the city. This isn't about flash. It's about calm, space, and breathing room.
