A meandering drive leads you to a semi-circular paver driveway that welcomes you home. A deep, covered front porch provides a gracious entry, setting the tone for the calm, understated elegance found throughout.

Just beyond, the newly renovated kitchen is a standout including a La Cornue French gas range, Monogram appliances, a concrete farmhouse sink, wide-plank oak flooring, luxury lighting & striking marble counters. A hidden scullery/laundry area offers practical overflow, connecting the kitchen to the oversized, air-conditioned 2-car, side-facing garage w/ built-in storage & a dedicated gym or flex room. Moving through the heart of the home, a large family room awaits—framed by soaring ceilings with cedar beam accents & outfitted w/ automated shades for comfort & privacy. The primary suite occupies its own wing & features a gas fireplace, dual walk-in closets, a spa-style bath, & 2 separate flex rooms currently used as an office & art studio. On the opposite side of the home, a tucked-away powder bath conveniently serves both guests & the pool area, while an additional en-suite bedroom downstairs offers privacy for guests or multi-generational living. Upstairs, two more bedrooms w/ en suite baths flank a generous loft w/ amazing lake views. Step outside & the setting is nothing short of spectacular. The resort-style backyard was designed for entertaining & unwinding alike, w/ multiple fire pits, a sparkling pool & raised spa & an outdoor kitchen complete with grill, pizza oven, built-in space for Green Egg, sink & refrigerator. The expansive lawn gently slopes toward the lake, leading to a rare, fully outfitted dock w/ a covered boathouse, lift, dual jet ski slips & utilities for water & electric—perfect for sunset cocktails or launching into the larger chain of lakes. Architectural details throughout the home include Mexican tile, natural wood & stone finishes, vaulted ceilings, metal accents, & custom lighting—thoughtfully layered to create a warm & inviting atmosphere.

More than a home, this property is a lifestyle, a legacy & a front-row seat to the best of lakefront living.
