As you enter the home you are greeted by a large foyer and sprawling main level. The stunning great room has everything you could imagine including walnut floors, crown molding, and wood beamed ceiling creating both a rustic and comfortable feel. The centerpiece of the great room is the custom gas fireplace with limestone surround. The floor plan sweeps you through arched doorways and continues on to the elegant dining room. The dining room showcases a wall of windows overlooking the landscaped one acre lot, ceramic tiled floor and classic French doors opening to the deck. Off of the dining room is the incredible gourmet kitchen. This kitchen literally has it all! The counterspace comes in abundance and features two layers of solid slab granite countertops. The cherry wood work on the center island fits perfectly with the custom hardwood floors, lavish backsplash, and patina styled cabinetry. In addition, there are commercial grade stainless steel appliances and a huge refrigerator hidden behind the cabinetry panels adding a more aesthetically pleasing look. Conveniently located off the kitchen is the informal dining area where you can relax with family or have more room to entertain. The warm sunroom rounds out the main level living area and boasts floor to ceiling windows, magnificent flooring with a unique tile inlay, and opens to a balcony off of the front of the home overlooking the lake. A spiral staircase that winds through all three levels of the home accesses the upper level living areas. The master suite is unsurpassable with arched doorways, multiple windows, and french doors leading to a second private balcony. The master bathroom has double vanities with marble countertops and a classic clawfoot bath.
