Large windows frame the glorious views from most rooms. The living room features a fireplace, window seat and a library alcove. The superbly equipped kitchen with an eat-in area opens to the family room with a fireplace. There is a separate pantry, mudroom and access to a terrific screened-in porch. The open deck is accessed from the formal dining room. On the second level are 4 bedrooms. The master bedroom has a fireplace and a luxurious bath with soaking tub and oversized shower. Two bedrooms share a bath; another has a bath en suite. At one end of the upper hallway is a cozy reading nook. The room above the 3-car garage is currently an office but could be a 5th bedroom. The walk-out, finished lower level has gym and game room. The mostly open grounds have been professionally landscaped with gardens and natural stone walkways, and an infinity-edged pool. A post-and-beam red barn is sited in the large open meadow north of the house. The property is part of an enclave of about 20 homes that have access to private South Spectacle Lake, a pristine 100-acre lake with tennis courts, boat and club houses.
