Historic Locust Lane is one of the preferred locations on Lake Mitchell - it's been said this home started in the late 1800s as a cottage prior to the canal being built (although the only part of the house that will share that story is the crawl space;-) Inside this spacious estate you will see additions & renovations that have brought the owners updated comforts yet with the character of the years past starting with the kitchen that was carefully decorated with oak & denim blue cabinetry and a double Kohler pottery sink plus wet bar with custom painted mural backsplash. The dining area is centered by a vintage chandelier. Two fireplaces adorn the living spaces for added warmth in the dark of night yet the skylights bring warmth & light from the sun of day. Your Welcome Home experience starts with the custom red wood door with 3/4 stained glass window showcasing loons (which have been spotted on the lake). Enter the great room and be blown away by the panoramic views of the lake. This room sports 4 skylights, a 6' picture window & 12' slider door to the deck. Turn the corner and enter into another wonderful space that shouts "come sit & stay awhile" - updated in 2004, this custom area has a sitting area with french doors to the BBQ deck & lake. Enjoy the storage that abounds in the kitchen/wet bar/built-in bookshelves & curios on either side of the gas fireplace. In the kitchen are two pantry units too! Finishing off the main floor is a 1/2 bath off the attached garage but the real treat is the first floor master suite with private ensuite bathroom, walk-in closet and custom built in cabinet & chandelier. Bedroom has an 8' eagle window wall bringing the serenity of the lake & sunsets into your private space. Let's take a walk up the open staircase to the 2nd Floor which has 4 spacious bedrooms (one with its own private bathroom) and another with a large dormer area great for a reading nook.
