Tucked beyond a private GATED drive beneath a canopy of towering oaks, this LAKESIDE estate spans 2.8 acres (Fall 2025 survey) of pristine ski-lake frontage, offering a rare blend of privacy, acreage, and waterfront living. Set well back from the road, the 4,071 sq ft residence features 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, 2 half baths, and a 3-car garage, surrounded by sweeping lawns, mature trees, and tranquil water views. A circular drive introduces the stately Southern-inspired facade, highlighted by an expansive wraparound porch and distinctive pavilion-style turret-an architectural presence designed for both elegance and comfort. Inside, soaring ceilings and oversized windows fill the open-concept layout with natural light. Porcelain tile flooring flows throughout the main living areas, complemented by crown molding and refined architectural detailing. The dramatic family room is anchored by a sleek fireplace feature wall and a remarkable 350-gallon built-in aquarium, creating an unforgettable focal point. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame panoramic backyard views. The home was completely remodeled in 2020. Overlooking the two-story family room with 25' ceilings and balcony above, the chef's kitchen is striking and functional. Crisp custom cabinetry pairs beautifully with onyx countertops and an oversized island with seating-ideal for gatherings large or small. Stainless steel appliances, designer tile backsplash, and abundant storage complete the space. Just off the kitchen, a designer half bath showcases Brazilian blue quartzite countertops, adding a bold and sophisticated touch. Three additional bedrooms and a well-appointed laundry room are conveniently located on the main level. Upstairs, the private primary suite offers exceptional space and balcony access overlooking the backyard. A custom walk-in closet with built-in organization provides both function and style. Sliding barn doors lead to the spa-inspired bath, where separate Brazilian blue quartzite vanities are complemented by high-end fixtures, designer lighting, and refined finishes throughout. Relax in the soaking tub with built-in television or enjoy the expansive glass-enclosed shower, thoughtfully designed to create a true retreat experience. A versatile upstairs bonus room provides flexible space for a home office, fitness studio, media room, or play space. Outdoor living is equally impressive. A newly paved pool deck surrounds the freeform pool, creating expansive entertaining areas framed by a charming picket fence. A covered pavilion with built-in bar, mounted television, and convenient half bath makes hosting effortless year-round.
