With 114 feet of west-facing shoreline on Long Lake, this impressive lake home was made for gathering, with generous spaces on every level, beautiful craftsmanship throughout and a sandy beach waiting just outside the door. At the heart of the main level is the great room, where soaring knotty pine ceilings, a floor-to-ceiling stone gas fireplace and a dramatic wall of lakeside windows create a warm and welcoming place to gather. The spacious kitchen is equally suited to a houseful of guests, with abundant rustic hickory cabinets, granite countertops, a large island AND peninsula, both with seating, along with double ovens, a gas cooktop and an additional built-in with granite. Nearby, another built-in with a sink adds even more serving and entertaining space. The home is also wired for surround sound inside and out, carrying the entertaining possibilities well beyond the great room. Just beyond the kitchen is a completely separate TV and sitting room with a vaulted wood ceiling, extensive built-ins and walls of windows, providing a more relaxed place to visit or settle in for a movie. On the other side of the great room, the main-level primary suite offers lake views, a vaulted wood ceiling, a full en suite, large walk-in closet and doors leading to its own lakeside deck. A powder room and separate laundry room are also located on the main level. Upstairs, the open loft overlooks the great room and showcases more of the home’s craftsmanship, including custom log railings and a handcrafted metal woodland design. A large bedroom provides room for multiple beds, while a ¾ bath and generous office or flex area add even more space for family and guests. The walkout lower level is anything but ordinary. Ten-foot ceilings in the family room and vaulted wood ceilings in the bedrooms give this level an unexpectedly open and spacious feel. Two large bedrooms with lake views and a ¾ bath accompany an expansive game and gathering area with room for a pool table and more. A beautiful wood bar with a live-edge top and generous seating creates a natural gathering place, while the adjoining TV area features a gas fireplace with slate surround and walks out to the covered lakeside patio. The home is served by two furnaces, helping maintain comfortable temperatures throughout all three levels. Outside, the peaceful setting that surrounds the home is just as inviting. Nicely landscaped grounds, mature trees and gardens frame the home, while a broad, level lakeside lawn leads to a sandy beach and 114 feet of west-facing Long Lake shoreline. An upper deck and covered lower patio offer two more places to enjoy the lake. There is plenty of room for everything that comes with lake living. The attached two-stall garage is heated and insulated, while the large detached garage offers additional space for vehicles, boats, storage or a workshop and includes a wood-burning fireplace. It’s also plumbed for a fish cleaning sink. A paved boat-launching area, storage shed and playhouse complete the property. Beautifully crafted, peaceful when you want it to be and remarkably well designed for bringing people together, this is a Long Lake home with room for family and friends to gather, spread out and make memories for years to come.
