Nestled at the end of a private drive, this lakeside sanctuary offers over 1.5 acres, 330 ft of shoreline, and a private dock for fishing, kayaking, sailing, or simply soaking in the view. Secluded yet minutes from shopping, schools, and Ivy Hill Golf, this custom 4BR/3BA estate has been cherished by only two owners in 44 years. Lake views fill nearly every room while bald eagles and abundant wildlife create a breathtaking natural setting. The remodeled kitchen blends timeless style with Bosch appliances, custom built-ins, and thoughtful storage. The serene primary suite features lake views, dual closets, and a spa-inspired bath renovated in 2026. A double-sided fireplace upstairs, a wood stove insert down in the great room, wet bar, and private lower-level guest suite with separate entrance and bath add warmth and flexibility. Dual-zone heat pumps, outdoor lighting, and extensive exterior electrical access complete this rare waterfront retreat.
