Thoughtfully designed with quality craftsmanship throughout, this home features an open-concept floor plan filled with natural light. The spacious living room showcases soaring vaulted ceilings, a stunning floor-to-ceiling wood-burning fireplace with an oversized hearth, and expansive windows overlooking the backyard oasis. Custom high-end window shades are installed throughout the home. The kitchen was built with both function and style in mind, offering abundant countertop space, ceiling-height cabinetry, a large island, dedicated dining room, oversized breakfast area, and a butler's pantry complete with additional prep space and room for larger appliances. The split-bedroom layout provides privacy, with the primary suite tucked away alongside an oversized laundry room featuring generous cabinetry, extensive counter space, and a utility sink. The luxurious primary bath offers separate vanities, a freestanding soaking tub, a beautifully tiled walk-in shower, and a spacious walk-in closet. Step outside to your own private retreat.

An insulated shop with an attached covered porch provides endless possibilities for hobbies, entertaining, or extra storage. The additional adjoining lot, shaded by beautiful mature trees, creates a park-like setting rarely found with newer construction. Welcome to your lake living without the lake home pricetag!
