This home is immersed amongst the trees and surrounding gardens offering privacy and a spectacular view of the entire lake. Some say it's the best view on the lake. Whether you live year-round or vacation here it doesn't get better than this. Take in the glorious view from the large floor to ceiling windows while relaxing in the living/dining room that has a cathedral ceiling and stone wood burning fireplace w/insert. The living room door opens to a large wrap-around deck with a table and chairs that seat 10 and a BBQ for grilling. A peaceful place to relax and take in nature. The kitchen is fully equipped and ready for everyday meal prep or entertaining guests. There are 2 bedrooms and a loft with queen beds and a beautifully renovated bathroom on this upper level. The lower level has a primary suite with a second stone fireplace, a queen bed and a queen-sized sofa bed. The windows and French doors that lead to the lake offer another lakeview. A second tastefully renovated bathroom with a shower and heated floor, a laundry room and utility room complete this level. There is plenty to do at the lake, in summer, swim, boat, sunbathe from your private dock. Only electric boats allowed to assure peace & quiet.
