The chef-inspired kitchen is thoughtfully equipped with premium KitchenAid appliances, including a sleek induction cooktop, rich cabinetry, and generous counter space for seamless culinary preparation. Just off the main living space, a sun-drenched sunroom offers the perfect serene setting for enjoying peaceful morning coffee. The main-level primary suite acts as a true private sanctuary, boasting direct access to a quiet balcony with picturesque views of the water, while a dedicated main-floor office complete with its own private full bathroom provides ideal flexibility for remote work or guest needs. The lower level functions as a fully equipped guest retreat and dynamic entertainment hub. Designed to afford visitors maximum comfort and independence, this expansive space features a comfortable lounging area, flexible recreation zone, guest bedrooms, and a shared Jack-and-Jill bathroom. A lower-level kitchenette, outfitted with a microwave and refrigerator, allows guests to enjoy drinks and snacks without needing to head upstairs. Enhancing the home's exceptional practical utility, an oversized storage workshop equipped with double doors opening to the backyard offers vast space for shop tools, watercraft accessories, and lake gear.
