Every once in a while a home can't be captured in words or pictures. It has to be seen in person to appreciate lake views that will take your breath away! A fabulous floor plan that is rarely available & offers more space & options that buyers wait for, but rarely find. This sprawling 4500+ sq. ft, Shorewood Forest lake home has one of the largest lake front lots. It boasts 5 bdrms/5 baths + 2 xtra bdroms & addt'l kitchen in the walk out basement. PLUS that desired boat dock right outside your doors. With a wrap around balcony & multiple decks, there isn't a bad view in this much loved home. Decades of memories took place here. Letting go of this true architectural gem was tough. But it is time for new owners to create a new chapter in this amazing home. The amenities/upgrades are too many to list so call your Realtor for a private tour and a full upgrade/ improvement brochure. Check out the virtual tour - it gives a glimpse into what can only be described as a holiday miracle!
