Crafted with the finest materials, this timeless home boasts extensive use of reclaimed wood and stone throughout, blending warmth and elegance in a truly one-of-a-kind setting. Step into the foyer and be wowed by walls of windows that lend breathtaking, panoramic lake views and flood the open concept living space with natural light. The reclaimed white oak hardwood floors flow seamlessly through the expansive great room, where a floor-to-ceiling, stone surround, wood-burning fireplace and striking ceiling beams create a dramatic focal point next to the gourmet kitchen- a chef’s dream with gleaming Cambria counters, rich lyptus cabinetry, and huge center island. An adjoining dining area opens to the connecting balcony deck and enviable screened-in porch that you can relax and entertain in year-round with its own wood-burning, stone to the ceiling fireplace. Also enjoy the convenience of main-level living with the lavish Owner’s suite, offering exquisite lake views, a spa-like en suite with in-floor heat, and a dressing room complete with a built-in organization system and direct access to a walk-through laundry room. Plus, a stately office framed by French doors and wood paneling, a walk-in pantry, ornate powder room, and large mudroom with built-ins and a handy service door are main-level amenities sure to be appreciated. Make your way to the lower level and be pleased to find a space fit for the entertainer, featuring a reclaimed wood gas fireplace in the family room with billiards and a rustic wet bar, not to mention a cozy theater room with impressive barn doors, two bedrooms and two luxe baths. The walkout then leads to a stunning patio, where you can enjoy a brick oven and relish views of the lush landscaping and sweeping backyard surrounded by trees; and don’t miss the astonishing amount of space in the garages with room for at least seven cars in the attached/heated garages and twelve in the detached/heated/cooled garage, while a mother-in-law suite equipped with all the essentials completes this show-stopping estate. With 325’ of pristine waterfront and located just one mile from the popular Gateway State Trail, this is lake living at its finest.
