A rare opportunity to own a lakefront ranch with sweeping views of Lake Eleanor and coveted lake rights. Perfectly situated in Lake Eleanor Estates, this expansive 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath home offers an exceptional lifestyle with fishing, boating, and a peaceful setting right in your backyard. A circular brick driveway and private courtyard entry set the tone, leading into a well-designed interior with a natural flow between the main living spaces. The living room opens to a spacious dining area, while the kitchen features an eat-in area, pantry, and balcony-ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Large rear-facing windows spanning the entire back of the home fill the space with natural light and highlight the home's stunning lakefront setting. The main level also features a half bath, abundant storage, and a mudroom area off the garage. The bedroom wing is thoughtfully set apart for privacy. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet, two additional closets, a private balcony, and an ensuite bath. Three additional bedrooms and a well-appointed full hall bath complete the main level. The walk-out lower level offers excellent flexibility, featuring a family room with a wood-burning fireplace with gas starter, a media area, a wet bar with beverage fridge, a full bath, an additional bedroom, a laundry room, and a versatile space that can be used as a home office, gym, or recreation area. Sliding doors from both the family room and bedroom open to an expansive patio, sandy beach with a custom stone seawall, and direct shoreline access-creating a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Newer mechanicals, two sheds, and an underground sprinkler system are just a few of the additional amenities. This home is being offered as-is. Located in award-winning School District 109 and within one of the area's most sought-after lake communities, this is a unique opportunity to create something truly special.
