At its center, a dramatic atrium great room rises nearly 20 feet with overhead skylights, exposed brick, and warm wood beam ceilings.  An interior balcony and upper-level kitchen overlook the space, creating a layout that feels expansive yet connected in a way few homes achieve.

With almost two acres near the lake, this custom-built home offers a way of living that feels open, connected, and quietly set apart. At its center, a dramatic atrium great room rises nearly 20 feet with overhead skylights, exposed brick, and warm wood beam ceilings.  An interior balcony and upper-level kitchen overlook the space, creating a layout that feels expansive yet connected in a way few homes achieve. Positioned just off the atrium, a private primary wing offers a true sense of retreat. The suite is thoughtfully set apart, and the renovated bathroom is designed for unwinding, featuring a skylit glass shower, soaking tub, and elevated finishes throughout. The kitchen is both expansive and functional, anchored by a massive wraparound island that overlooks the atrium below. Designed for everyday living and entertaining alike, it offers abundant cabinetry, multiple pantry spaces, and an eat-in balcony that brings in natural light. From here, the space flows seamlessly into a dedicated dining area and into a generous living room complete with an automated projector screen... each with its own outdoor balcony, creating multiple places to gather, dine, and connect. Just beyond, a large second bedroom or home office with built-ins, along with a nearby half bath, completes the upper level. The lower level features a den with wet bar that opens directly to the courtyard, along with two bed
