Entering this waterfront neighborhood filled with lakefront homes welcomes you with a feeling of peaceful luxury. Pulling into the driveway, while the neighbors are very close, you can often feel the breeze from the lakefront. The Pontiac Lake State Recreation Area is conveniently just across the lake. Stepping into this lake house, the openness pulls you toward the fresh, modern layout with the sleek, stylish furnishings. The contemporary look allows you to dream away while soaking in you time on Pontiac Lake.

The kitchen is large and inviting with plenty of counter space. The kitchen island doubles as both a prep and dining area for your casual meals. Watching the lake as you both cook and enjoy your meal together is a unique experience for most.

Nonetheless, thought has been put into how to capture a few minutes of work while your family vacations, or as you live the professional nomadic lifestyle with a designated work space.

At the end of the day, convenience is what captures a true vacation. The two (2) Master Bedrooms, one on the main floor and the other upstairs, both have en suite bathrooms. The other 2 bedrooms are also divided between the upper and main levels, along with the 2 additional bathrooms. Another unique quality of this lake house is ability to do laundry. While it's never required on vacation, if you packed light, need to dry a bathing suit or just want to return home with suitcases of clean clothes, we have you covered. There is a washer/dryer on both the main and the upper levels.

Don't forget to spend your time outdoors with the soft cushioned chairs while you enjoy the fire pit, outdoor dining and grill. Aaahh... those summer nights... After a restful nights sleep in the king bed, that morning sunrise may lure you to rise early. The sunrise is sure to put the icing on the memories you have created together at the Pontiac Lake Place.
