Every season brings something special to enjoy at this proudly maintained colonial directly across from Lake Carnegie’s boat launch and just a mile from downtown. In spring, the .94-acre fenced yard bursts to life with perennial blooms. From azalea to hydrangea, the show of color continues week after week. Savor summer sunsets by the bluestone-edged pool, relined 2020. With glass doors enclosing a 3-season room, you can watch pollinators flutter around the butterfly garden and continue to bask in the beauty of the backyard well into fall. When winter arrives, views of the lake are completely unobstructed, perfect for showcasing peaceful sunrises. With two gas fireplaces, a newer furnace and a comfortable interior renovated over the years by Lasley Brahaney, hibernating at home is always a pleasure. Hardwood floors start in the sunny foyer and continue into the formal rooms. The custom eat-in kitchen is timeless in design and function with shaker wood cabinetry, a long built-in buffet loaded with storage and a trio of windows right over the sink, perfectly framing a stone garden wall and a glorious flowering dogwood. The nearby family room invites cozy evenings with your favorite show. Upstairs, one of four bedrooms is outfitted with expertly crafted built-in desks, while the corner main suite boasts the best views of the lake. The private main bath has a brand new tiled shower seamlessly enclosed in glass and a floating vanity. The neutral hall bath is chock full of custom storage. Should you need even more space, two staircases lead to the tall basement, a blank slate for finishing. From the repaved driveway to the replaced windows to the freshly painted siding, signs of responsible ownership are everywhere!
