From the moment you arrive, the inviting covered front porch welcomes you home.

Two stunning brick fireplaces add to the home's inviting atmosphere one anchoring the cozy kitchen keeping room, creating the perfect gathering spot for morning coffee and conversation, while the second fireplace warms the terrace-level family room for cozy evenings with family and friends.

Outdoor living is simply spectacular. Enjoy two incredible decks...an expansive upper deck and a covered lower deck below both perfectly positioned to soak in the breathtaking lake views. Whether enjoying your morning coffee, sunset dinners, or relaxing with a glass of wine at the end of the day, these spaces create a true extension of the home and make every season on the lake feel special.

The lifestyle continues outside with a custom fire pit area perfect for s’mores under the stars, gorgeous rip rap shoreline, and a brand new single-slip, two-tier party dock complete with an upper sun deck...the ultimate spot for sunbathing, entertaining friends, or simply soaking in the incredible views and lake lifestyle.
