Why Denise Senules chose Walden on Lake Conroe
We bought this property in 2008 when we learned that the house we admired while playing a family game of football on the green space next to the house had become available. The home had such great curb appeal. Someone had spent a lot of time and money showcasing it with the grand fountain, circular drive and lush landscaping with imported stones. We were delighted when we discovered the home has an underground wine cellar, which we use as a wine tasting room, stone arched accent walls that match the stones used in the landscaping and the general quality of construction. The setting looked idyllic for undisturbed fishing off the water deck and the unusually large backyard with cabana and lanai for large gatherings with family and friends. We bought the property for getaways, so upkeep was an issue, and were delighted when learned of an additional smaller pool than the Yacht Club was only a few houses down the street and only available for our section of Walden on Lake Conroe.
What makes this House unique
The unique benefits of this lake house is the beautiful architecture and idyllic location. The home is very welcoming with its terra-cotta roof tiles and large trickling fountain with circular drive upon arrival. No need to use a photo of the outdoors for the thumbprint because of embarrassing curb appeal. The home has a downstairs family room which opens to the large lanai and the dining room has an adjoining gathering room for relaxing and visiting in cushy chairs after dinner. The upstairs has both a media room with surround sound, foosball and karaoke for the bigger kids and adults and an additional "secret hidden" kid's room with tv, games, dress up and chalkboard with a sofa for the kid's. It's a big hit for an extra sleeping area for the little ones and teen agers. The house has a large green space which we use for a friendly game of football on one side and an empty tree shaded lot on the other side. The home is at the end of a cove, which looks idyllic and is across the water from a private boat launch. Because watercraft is launched before reaching our property, guests can swim 400 down the lake without worrying about a speeding and out of control boat or jet ski running you over. Great fishing off of the very large water deck with beautiful views of the lake. There are two boat slips to dock a boat or jet ski. View constant wildlife such as deer, blue herons, eagles and ducks. The backyard is very large for a waterfront property. We take advantage of this with a game of volleyball, corn toss and setting up a waterslide for the kiddos while we relax and grill under the large lanai and cabana. This property is privy to an additional pool which is about five houses down the street if you wanted to take a quick dip instead of visiting the Yacht Club pools. It's the best of both worlds and we hope you enjoy it as much as our family and friends have enjoyed it over the past ten years.
