With over 3,100 sq ft, 4 bedrooms, and 2.5+ baths, every detail has been thoughtfully designed to capture both the lake views and everyday functionality.

The gourmet kitchen is equipped with high-end cabinetry, pot filler, French-door double oven, and a true butler's pantry with an additional farmhouse sink. The formal dining room includes convenient pocket doors, and a highly functional laundry/mudroom features a shower-perfect for rinsing off after the lake or washing pets. Upstairs, the private primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with an extra sitting area with French doors to a second-level deck overlooking the lake, and a spa-like bath featuring a steam shower, heated floors, and a large walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms are complemented by a spacious custom great room/4th bedroom with triple French doors opening to the upper deck-creating an incredible second-level living and entertaining space. There's even a wet bar on the 2nd floor! The oversized 3 car finished garage is a rare find, featuring a built-in heater, overhead storage, and space for two cars plus a golf cart and all the lake toys. Situated on a beautifully landscaped 0.38 acre lot, the outdoor space includes a multi-level patio and built-in gas grill-perfect for enjoying summer evenings with a lake view. Located just steps from the private neighborhood lakefront park and option for your own pier, you can take the golf cart over in the summer and hop on the boat for a day out on the water!
