Embrace lakeside living in renovated Franklin Twp. cottage: House of the Week

FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP, Ohio — A few miles from downtown Kent, a charming cottage on picturesque Twin Lakes beckons, asking, “Have you ever wanted to own a lakehouse?”

“This home invites you to unwind, entertain and embrace the lakeside living vibe,” says The Agency’s Erika Mitschke of her listing at 7532 State Route 43. “Every inch of this home exudes elegance with high-end finishes throughout. It truly creates a blend of luxury and comfort.”

Built in 1930, the home has undergone a complete renovation. The result is a three-bedroom, four-bathroom home with a modern layout, finished basement and nearly 2,800 square feet of living space. The asking price is $699,000.

“Obviously this house is stunning in the summer— it’s a lake house,” adds co-listing agent Jenny Winters of The Agency. “But it’s also surprisingly beautiful in the winter. The open floor plan allows you to see the lake from the second you enter the home. Sitting down for a holiday dinner while overlooking a snow-covered lake is a dream.”

The main living area showcases contemporary comfort with hardwood floors, recessed lighting and a fireplace with stone surround. The kitchen features bespoke touches, including a waterfall-edge island, subway tile backsplash and statement range hood. Windows on all sides flood the space with natural light, while sliding doors in the dining area open to an expansive deck.

The first-floor primary suite, located just off the living room, includes an office nook, spacious bedroom and spa-inspired bathroom. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms share a full bathroom.

The lower level strikes an industrial-chic tone with its black wood-beamed ceiling and exposed ductwork, creating an ideal space for relaxation. The finished basement also provides direct access to both the attached two-car garage and the lake.

Twin Lakes offers more than just scenic views— residents can enjoy the water via kayaks, paddleboards and small non-motorized fishing boats.
