Experience lake living at its best in this custom built lake home with 86' of frontage on the Lake James Chain! The home was originally constructed by the builder as his personal residence. This home won the 2007 Builder's Parade of Homes. "Castello di Lago" - Castle by the Sea, as it was named, evokes an understated Tuscan flare while the winning design takes advantage of the lake lot to create an elegant yet comfortable living space. A custom Cherry door with transom windows sets the tone for what you can expect as you go thru the home. Entering the two-story foyer you will catch your first glimpse of the lake. Travertine floors lead you into the Great Room that has a beautiful stone fireplace as the centerpiece of the main level. It is adorned with a rustic oak mantel which is replicated in the beams that are found throughout this floor. A formal dining room sits just off the foyer. This is a perfect space for more formal entertaining with wainscoting, hardwood floors, and custom draperies that frame the space for an intimate feeling. Some of the best views can be found in the custom kitchen & octagonal breakfast nook- creamy maple glazed cabinets, two-toned island, and top of the line appliances are perfect for the chef in the house! Saving the best for last, the main level master suite takes advantage of the sunset lake views while the spa inspired bath will pamper you whether you prefer to unwind in the large soaking tub or enjoy a good hot shower. You can watch TV from both! The room is topped off with His/Her vanities, large walk in closet, and stone tile floors. Upstairs there are two private bedrooms with full bath plus a bonus room- perfect for guests. There is a finished basement that has a large family room, office, full 2nd kitchen, additional guest bedroom, & full bath. Custom bookcases, and crown molding, are a few of the special details on this level of the home. There is also unfinished storage/mechanical room plus a large lake storage room- perfect for all the lake toys. A covered patio is another space to take in the views- perfect spot for the hammock!
