Many quality upgrades, expansive ceilings with craftsman woodwork, wood and marble floors, formal dining with a music room, and fireplaces in the living, family room, and primary bedroom.

The main staircase gives a dramatic vantage point to appreciate the open floor plan, ideal for entertaining. The well-appointed kitchen features a chef’s prep kitchen, electric and Wolf gas double oven, two Sub-Zeros, double dishwashers, and a built-in espresso machine.

The property has rear yard access down to the lake, great for boat parking or extra parking when you rally the team for a volleyball match on the court. You can also utilize the tennis courts & private boat ramp just a short walk down the street. There are too many low maintenance, cost saving features to list, but a few include; energy efficient solar power, metal roof, and three on demand propane powered gas water heaters. There are over $55,000 in solar panels that will save countless dollars over the years and is good for the environment. The electric bills are minimal. As I mentioned earlier Ipe hardwood is the best exotic hardwood the industry has to offer and it was used on the extensive decks for low maintenance. A new two horse sprinkler pump was recently installed that draws from the lake to maintain the exotic landscape. The durable easy to clean composite dock has two lifts & two boat slips. The owner will even throw in the $50,000 ski boat (approx Value) with an acceptable offer.
