About this home
Nestled within a serene deep-water cove, this fully renovated, lakefront gem is the epitome of both fun and lake living at it’s finest. It boasts a double-decker dock, a powerful generator, stunning lake views, and is just a short walk from the house to the dock. As you enter the main level, be prepared for breathtaking lake views. The sun-drenched, open-concept living area offers a spacious setting, featuring a dining area for 12 and a kitchen that would delight any chef. Imagine a large island with ample storage and seating, double ovens, a 6-burner gas stovetop, a convenient microwave drawer, a coffee bar, and extensive counter space. Planning a weekend gathering? The standalone ice maker ensures your beverages stay chilled! Step through one of the two glass doors onto the deck and fire up the hardwired gas grill for a al fresco dinner while enjoying the lake and backyard views. The main level also features the exquisite primary bedroom, along with a charming second bedroom and a full hallway bath. The primary bedroom, with floor-to-ceiling windows, offers a daily retreat to nature’s tranquility. Step out onto the private deck to enjoy one on one time with the outdoors. In this sanctuary, the primary bathroom transforms into a lavish retreat, featuring a luxurious wet room, dual shower heads, and a spacious walk-in closet with a closet system. A built-in Bluetooth speaker with lights invites you to channel your inner rock star while showering!

The spacious living area invites relaxation or an exciting game night! Need storage? Three enormous closets provide plenty of space. With three additional bedrooms and two baths, everyone can have their own cozy nook. Plus, all five bedrooms come with Elfa closet systems. Step outside to a backyard that's perfect for yard games, lush gardens, or whatever delights you. Head down to your fabulous dock, equipped with lights, water, two boat lifts, and ample storage for kayaks, paddleboards, oars, and a dock chest. With 246 feet of waterfront and 30 feet of deep water at full pool, it's a paradise for fishing enthusiasts, complete with pole holders and a dock pre-wired for a green light. Upstairs, the party deck invites sunbathing and pure relaxation. This peaceful cove offers deep waters ideal for swimming, paddleboarding, efoiling, and excellent fishing.
