2925 W Sycamore Beach Rd, Angola, IN 46703

Property Description

Perfectly positioned on the north side of Crooked Lake in the highly desirable First Basin, this exceptional lakefront retreat offers 45 feet of frontage on one of Northeast Indiana’s most sought-after all-sports lakes, ideal for boating, fishing, kayaking, and endless summer fun. Originally built in 1953, this home truly defines the term lake cottage, offering 728 square feet of cozy living space with two bedrooms and one full bath. The open kitchen and family room are anchored by a gas fireplace and a wall of windows, perfectly framing peaceful lake views. Thoughtfully maintained and passed through just two families, the property reflects pride of ownership throughout. Between 2017–2018, the cottage was comprehensively remodeled and transformed into a true year-round residence by Lakeshore Design, seamlessly blending its classic lake character with modern comfort and reliability. Improvements include new siding, insulation, windows, doors, roof, HVAC system, on-demand hot water heater, gas fireplace, Generac gas backup generator, updated electrical, and a new parking lot. Extensive paver stone walkways, terraced patios, landscape lighting and a lakeside fire pit, all custom designed around a mature maple tree providing shade and creating the ideal outdoor setting for entertaining and relaxation. A private well (2005) serves the home, while public sewer is provided by the Steuben Lakes Regional Waste District. Plumbing was updated in 2010, and the interior showcases original Ponderosa pine, preserving the warm, authentic cottage feel. Enjoy a sandy/silty beach with a gradual slope to 5-foot at the end of the 70-foot pier, providing ample space for swimming, docking, and lakeside lounging. Recent professional landscaping by Dubach Landscaping features Japanese maples, dwarf Hinoki trees, liriope, and a variety of decorative grasses, enhancing both beauty and privacy. Numerous lakeside restaurants are nearby, easy access to I69, and the city of Angola—with grocery stores, retail, dining, YMCA, and fitness options—is just a 5–10 minute drive. This is a rare opportunity to own a meticulously updated lakefront home with history, charm, and modern convenience in one of Crooked Lake’s most coveted locations.
