Set on the shore of Crystal Lake, this exceptional lakefront ranch offers 52 feet of direct waterfront with breathtaking, unobstructed views. Boasting over 2,500 square feet, this meticulously maintained brick and vinyl home combines quality craftsmanship with luxurious, year-round lake living. Inside, 9-foot ceilings and an expansive open floor plan create a bright and inviting atmosphere. The living room, dining area, and kitchen seamlessly flow together, all positioned to capture stunning water views through oversized 6-foot windows that bring the beauty of the outdoors inside. The custom gourmet kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring extensive cabinetry, granite countertops, and elegant finishes throughout. Refined details such as crown molding, 6 panel doors, stylish transom window over the front door and radiant heated granite flooring enhance the main living areas, offering both comfort and sophistication. The home features generously sized bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with serene lake views, a walk-in closet, and a private bath. Additional highlights include a den with 9-foot ceilings and crown molding, central air conditioning, and a high-efficiency Buderus boiler. Enjoy peaceful mornings and relaxing evenings in the private screened porch overlooking the water. The level lot provides easy access to the lake and outdoor enjoyment, while the home's location on a short cul-de-sac street offers added privacy. Crystal Lake is highly regarded as a trophy trout lake and a great lake for boating! A substantial lower level with workshop space, an attached oversized two-car garage, and generator-ready wiring further enhances the property's functionality. The wide doors and hallway with only a few steps to the front door and garage give this home excellent handicap accessibility potential. The Roof is less than a year old!! Seller is looking for an end of July closing. A rare opportunity to own a quality-built home in a premier lakefront setting-ideal for those seeking luxury, comfort, and exceptional waterfront living. A rare blend of quality, space, and waterfront beauty-this is more than a home, it's a lifestyle waiting to be enjoyed.
