Welcome to your dream lakefront retreat. This custom-built gem offers the perfect blend of luxury and comfort. The current owner has lovingly maintained this one-of-a-kind property, and it shows in every detail. The quality construction is evident throughout, from the thoughtful layout to the premium finishes that catch your eye at every turn. Step inside and you'll immediately notice the soaring 14-foot ceilings that make the open concept living area incredibly spacious. The gourmet kitchen is definitely the heart of this home, featuring gorgeous custom-built Amish cabinets that showcase true craftsmanship. You'll love cooking with high-end appliances while guests gather around the large granite island - it's basically the perfect setup for both everyday meals and entertaining. With four bedrooms and three full bathrooms, there's plenty of space for everyone. The office could easily serve as a fifth bedroom if needed, giving you flexibility as your needs change. Head outside onto the large, newly stained deck and prepare to be wowed by incredible lake views that change with the seasons. The primary bedroom takes full advantage of these stunning views, paired with a beautiful ensuite bathroom that feels like your own private retreat with heated floors, double sinks and an oversized shower. The walk-out basement with poured 10 foot walls is made for picture perfect cozy evenings by the fireplace with heated floors keeping your toes warm while you entertain friends and family. It's the kind of space that transforms any gathering into a memorable occasion. As you step out to the lakeside you will find 99 feet of shoreline, offering endless water views and your own private slice of paradise. The galvanized steel sea wall and dock mean you're always ready for morning coffee by the water or evening fishing adventures. But let's talk about the real showstopper - the garage. This heated paradise boasts over twelve-foot ceilings and can easily accommodate more than six vehicles. The oversized doors mean no more playing automotive Tetris when parking your truck, boat, or collection of weekend toys. With all that extra height and space, you could practically host a car show in there. A wide interior staircase leads you to the unfinished attic above the garage. Imagine the possibilities for a game room or additional living space. Storage is no issue in this home. Plus, you're just steps away from the beach, park, and pickleball courts - perfect for active lifestyles. This property combines thoughtful design with an unbeatable location, creating a lifestyle that balances relaxation with recreation. It's lakefront living at its finest. There is just too much to list. Come take a look and see for yourself.
