Pinch yourself if you need to, you’re not dreaming. This truly enchanting, one owner, gorgeous, custom built log home is sure to satisfy all your lake home requirements. Everything in this home was well thought out and meticulously constructed right down to the stones on the fireplace. These stones were hand-picked by the seller’s mother & father from a local farmer’s field and were expertly cut and put into place. When you arrive, you will feel peace and tranquility. You will see the love that went into this property including the award-winning garden that produced award winning Hosta’s with over 200 varieties and an adorable Koi Pond that raised many Koi Fish over the years. Although time has gone by, the love is still shining through. The lakeside offers 150 feet of sandy shore on the stunning Stark Lake with great privacy, nice level area along the shore for all your entertainment and a storybook creek that flows to the lake. Step inside and feel the coziness of the real log, knotty pine walls and the warmth of the Heat & GLO fireplace. The main floor offers an open concept for entertaining with a beautiful stone fireplace as your centerpiece. Step into the kitchen and you will find beautiful custom-made cabinets with plenty of storage and slide out drawers as well as a skylight for plenty of natural sunlight. The living and dining areas feature 2 custom built-ins, breakfast bar, accent lighting and offer wonderful views of the serene front and back yards. Alongside the living and dining areas is a large knotty pine 12x22 four season porch with all the windows you need to take in the garden and lake views or step out to the large log railing deck that is overlooking it all. There is a main floor primary bedroom, a bathroom with double sinks, and a main floor laundry. The lower level features another bathroom with custom built-ins, large utility room with Kinetico water system, work bench, storage area, and an additional range.
