This captivating property on Lake Serene offers a truly grand living experience— a private oasis meticulously crafted for your enjoyment. Four artfully created levels. Almost 5,000 square feet. Gorgeous waterfront views flanked by lush woods. And the backyard of your dreams. The handsome stone façade with brick features hints at the architectural details that continue inside with an arched brick entryway, wood ceilings, hardwood floors, a stone fireplace, and beautiful trim. The large living room dazzles with a vaulted wood ceiling, long window seat, floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and bank of windows toward the water. The gourmet kitchen welcomes you with bright hues, a coffered ceiling, and an abundance of gorgeous cherry cabinetry—including a glass-front corner cabinet perfect for display pieces. You’re going to love the oversized, double farmhouse sink and high-end countertops. An island in the center gives you even more workspace and the warming drawer is a nice bonus. The turret room is the perfect spot for dining, with ample windows and another artful wood ceiling. The main level primary suite gets its own window seat overlooking the water view, two walk-in closets, and a bright bathroom with a bubble tub, separate shower, double vanity, and marble floor. Laundry facilities and a half-bath round out the main level. Head upstairs to enjoy a generous open loft space ready to use as you desire. Head downstairs, where three sizeable bedrooms and two bathrooms are situated, along with another space perfect for an office, or crafts, hobbies, etc. The walk-out lowest level is ideal for entertaining with lounge space, another fireplace, a kitchenette/bar, a final full bathroom, and it connects to the backyard. The outdoor features of this home are resplendent and take advantage of those water views with two large decks, two separate patios, and terraces tucked in all the right places. You’ll marvel at the retaining walls, stonework, and landscaping that leads gracefully to the lake and your private dock. Enjoy swimming, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, and more on this private lake. The attention to detail in this custom-built mansion, combined with 1.3 natural acres and the privacy and tranquility it affords, makes this a truly unique and desirable property. Modern conveniences include an oversized two-car garage, central vacuum system, a security system, recessed lighting, and durable appliances. A golf cart and lake toys are also included. Tucked away in Winchester, this lovely home is only ten minutes from downtown.
