About This Property

Pristine views across Lake Carnegie and direct access to the water make this stunning

Riverside home on a full acre positively irresistible. Fortunate residents have been so

enamored, in fact, that the property has changed hands only once! The current owners

greatly expanded the interior to create bright, functional spaces that maximize views.

Choose your favorite spot to watch birds and boats glide over the serene water: the

living room's wide window seat or a bank of windows beside the breakfast table. Invite

friends to spectate as elite athletes prepare for world-class regattas. There's room for all

on the Trex deck, the stone patio below and out on the lawn, gently easing down toward

the water. The home's charming, nestled-in facade belies an airy interior with more

space than imaginable, including a multi-room lower level with a game room and a

fireplace. A gas fireplace provides easy ambiance in the open family room above.

Updates to the kitchen over the last several years include quartz countertops, new

appliances and new lighting. The nearby mudroom is more than ample and opens to an

absolutely spotless garage. The private areas of the first floor can be found down a

quiet corridor. A den and an office offer more lovely views and a guest suite is perfectly

suited for extended stays. The upper level was carefully planned so that separate pairs

of bedrooms each share a roomy bath and the primary suite is a three-room sanctuary.

The primary's skylit sitting room opens to a dressing room for two and a bath with more

quartz countertops and a spa tub. There are still more secondary spaces to discover

and use as you please. A superb setting, abundant space and an overall warmth that's

undeniably tasteful and timeless are a magical combination that won't be found again!
