Large windows throughout the home fill every room with natural light while framing picturesque views of the thoughtfully landscaped gardens and the lake beyond.

The inviting living room offers one of the home's most charming spaces, where a beautiful bay window creates the perfect reading nook overlooking the water. The main level also features a spacious primary suite with a beautifully renovated ensuite bath, additional bedrooms, and another full bathroom.

The walkout lower level offers exceptional flexibility with its own private entrance, living room, kitchen, bedroom, renovated full bath, and direct access to a brand-new deck overlooking the backyard and junior lake views. Whether you're searching for a legal income-producing apartment, space for extended family, guest accommodations, or a private home office, this level offers endless possibilities.
