Make your way to Manchester Way, where exceptional Lake Lancer living begins. Originally custom built by WOLFE and thoughtfully remodeled in 2020 by the same Wolfe builder, this remarkable Craftsman-style home showcases enduring quality, with approximately 4,000 sq.ft. thoughtful design and a setting worthy of it all—approximately 73' of beautiful sandy shoreline on all-sports Lake Lancer. From the moment you arrive, it is evident this home was created for more than simply living—it was designed for gathering, entertaining and making memories at the lake. Inside, natural light and lake views complement an inviting floor plan offering 5 bedrooms, 4 full baths and exceptional living space across three finished levels. Open floorplan with Engineered hardwood floors, custom cabinetry with Quarts countertops, pantry storage and a warm living room with gas fireplace create a main level that feels equally suited for quiet mornings and a house full of guests. The main-floor primary suite provides a private retreat, while the lakeside screened and covered sunroom may just become your favorite place in the house—morning coffee, evening conversations and Lake Lancer views included. Upstairs, a spacious loft/sitting area offers additional flexible living space. The finished walkout lower level is a destination of its own, complete with a second kitchen with Corian countertops, expansive family/recreation room with fireplace, two additional bedrooms, full bath, infrared sauna, second laundry, workshop and direct access to the lakeside patio. It is an ideal arrangement for extended family, overnight guests and effortless lake-day entertaining. Step outside and the reason you came to Manchester Way becomes even clearer. A sandy beach, firepit and impressive two-tier fixed dock create your own waterfront playground, with Lake Lancer just steps from the door. Irrigation, a whole-house generator and an attached 3-car garage add the conveniences that make this property as practical as it is beautiful. Total reconstruction in 2008 and renovated in 2020 with same builder. Located within the sought-after Sugar Springs community, owners enjoy access to an exceptional collection of recreational amenities including golf, indoor pool, fitness center, clubhouse, restaurant, beaches and more. Beautifully built. Thoughtfully enhanced. Lovingly maintained. And positioned where every season offers another reason to come home. Welcome to 1557 Manchester Way—your place on Lake Lancer.
