The main level is the home's gracious heart, a chef’s kitchen with premium appliances and custom cabinetry flows into a luminous breakfast area oriented to the lake and leads to a gorgeous sunroom. At the same time, a more intimate formal dining room faces sculpted gardens. A sumptuous primary suite on the main floor offers a serene daytime retreat with a sitting area and gentle water vistas, his and her vanities, and massive walk-in closet. Nearby guest accommodations provide privacy and ease. Upstairs, two generously scaled bedrooms and two full baths provide comfortable and private quarters. Both enjoy direct water views and each finished with refined detailing. Fully finished lower level functions as a recreation hub, with a spacious family/gathering room, a well-appointed office, a fitness room, and a sizable screened porch for year-round enjoyment. Practical utility and storage areas are thoughtfully sized for lawn and lake equipment/ golf cart storage. Outdoor living is central to the property with layered terraces and sheltered porches that step down to a broad lawn and shore. Enjoy lake living at its finest, immaculate boat dock appointed with a dockside harvest table and benches, inviting leisurely lunches and long, easy days on the water. At twilight, a carefully placed firepit terrace, sized for A PLETHORA of guests, becomes a place for conversation, stargazing, and retelling stories. A rare opportunity in one of the area’s most prestigious lake communities. This exceptional open design home reads beautifully in every light: elegant, welcoming, and deeply attuned to its setting.
