A screen porch with retractable screens and an adjacent outdoor deck extend the living space outdoors, blurring the lines between indoors and out. An elevator provides access to all levels of the home, ideal for aging in place.

Upstairs, you will find four bedrooms, each with en-suite bathrooms, along with a bonus room and a laundry room. The lower level is designed for recreation and relaxation, featuring a golf simulator, pool table, large exercise room, and a family room. A standout feature is the home’s lakeside entertaining spaces, including a lake lounge and lake bar, complemented by lower-level lake storage with a garage door that opens directly to the backyard.

What truly sets this home apart are the thoughtful architectural details, including three staircases—one central one and one on each outer wing of the home—graceful arched hallways, under-stair wine storage, and a moody hearth room. The exterior is equally refined, featuring painted brick, stucco, Brava synthetic cedar-shake roofing, and copper gutters, lending timeless curb appeal.

What We Love About This Home
This transitional-style dream home features beautiful living spaces, both indoors and out. Centered around entertaining at the lake, this home offers plenty of space for gathering with friends, especially on the lower-level recreation area and the spacious outdoor deck that overlooks the lake. We love so many details, from the stylish yet comfortable living room with its picture window view over the lake to the dual-island kitchen with its beautiful waterfall island and eye-catching pendant lights.
