Prepare to be completely enchanted.
From the street view, 305 Lakewood Drive hints at a charming, modest residence. Step across the threshold however, and an extraordinary lakefront estate unfolds. Designed to frame the water from nearly every room, the main level features a breathtaking, sun-drenched four seasons room with walls of glass and soaring wood ceilings. The lower level is built for unforgettable gatherings, boasting an expansive media room and a custom bar area. The true magic lies just beyond the back doors. The grounds open into a tiered, meticulously landscaped oasis layered with abundant, mature rose gardens that perfume the mountain air. Meander down the stone pathways to an incredible paver patio complete with a modern outdoor fire pit overlooking the lake. Steps away, your own private dock awaits for morning paddle boarding or evening sunset views. Complete with a stunning custom walk-in closet, this property perfectly balances upscale luxury with a warm, soulful heartbeat. A rare, hidden sanctuary in the heart of historic Kenilworth.
