Experience lakeside living at its finest in this meticulously crafted home, where timeless Amish woodwork meets cutting-edge smart-home technology with an opportunity for multi-family living. Every inch of this residence reflects exceptional attention to detail through customized Amish cabinetry, built-in shelving that reflects true artisan craftsmanship with each piece thoughtfully designed, and every corner finished with precision. The beauty unfolds through rich wood tones, elegant trim work and gorgeous finishes that speak to the care and skill poured into its creation, surrounded by breathtaking waterfront views. The thoughtful design of the home can also transform into a multi-family living space, featuring a separate suite with sleeping quarters, a second kitchen (prep) that can be closed off from the main living area-providing flexibility for guests or an in-law suite. Enter through the welcoming foyer that connects to a mudroom with custom cubbies, benches and a slop sink, conveniently located off the 3.5 car garage. The nearby laundry room includes additional storage and a high-efficiency washer and dryer. The office can easily convert to a 5th bedroom on the first floor for convenience or expand into more living space. The open kitchen, dining, and living areas create the perfect space for entertaining that extends to the screened-in porch and composite decks overlooking the lake.

Head up to the second floor and retreat to your own private sanctuary in the primary suite, where every detail is to be admired.

A dedicated office space, seamlessly integrated into the suite, adds an inspiring setting for productivity and reflection. The fireplace wrapped in Ipe Brazilian Walnut is a stunning focal point that radiates warmth and sophistication, along with the beautiful woodwork lining the vaulted ceiling, accent wall and crown molding with built-in lighting.
