Discover this elegant custom-built home nestled on 100 feet of sandy Big Cedar Lake shoreline. Designed for comfort and style, it features 10-foot ceilings across three levels and a vaulted living room with expansive Andersen windows that frame stunning lake views. The main-floor primary suite offers a tranquil retreat with a bay window, tray ceilings, and a walk-in closet equipped with custom organizers. The updated en-suite bath boasts a double vanity with quartz vanity, newly tiled walk-in shower, and a generous soaking tub. Culinary enthusiasts will appreciate the updated kitchen, with new granite countertops, new fixtures, complete with solid wood cabinetry, soft-close drawers, under-cabinet lighting, and modern appliances—all included. Enjoy meals with a view in the eat-in kitchen or relax in the adjacent four-season room, which opens to multiple outdoor living spaces. If you get hot, step inside to cool down thanks to a newly installed A/C unit. The two lower levels feature large family rooms, one with a gas fireplace, wet bar, screened in porch, two additional bedrooms and an updated full bath. The lake level bedroom, currently staged as a vintage diner, offers direct exterior access and an en-suite bath with storage closet. On this same level is your very own, moody speakeasy that has access to the lake level. An egress window was added to finish off the second level with an additional living space and 5th bedroom. Outdoor living is taken to the next level with two open air decks, a covered deck, screened in porch, and a large concrete patio with overhead garage door at lake level. This home is a perfect blend of luxury and lakefront charm. Don't miss the opportunity to make this serene lakefront property your own. Schedule a private tour today!
