You'll find the spacious, rustic meets luxury home with one level living space tucked between two peaceful lakes giving waterfront views from every angle. Upon arrival, you'll pull up to the fully handicap accessible drive-through covered entrance. Entering the home, you'll be welcomed by the open concept living with an abundance of natural light pouring in from the wall-to-wall windows.

Surrounding the fireplace, you'll find a coat closet, dining area, additional sitting area, living room with a flat screen T.V., large pantry with lots of storage, and the fully stocked kitchen with stainless steel commercial appliances including: two convection ovens, 6-burner gas range, microwave, ice-machine, double dishwasher, fridge and freezer.
Exiting through the kitchen and living area off the back of the home, the fully furnished screened in porch invites you to dine outside at the large dining table, relax by the fireplace in the comfy outdoor sitting area, or sway on the bed swing as you take in the scenery across the lake spread out in front of you. In addition, the deck wraps around to another outdoor dining area set next to the pergola covered grilling station. Whether you're enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning or sipping a glass of wine in the evening, you won't want to miss out on the breathtaking views from the elevated deck.
Tucked on one end of the home, a private office space can be used for working away from home or enjoying as a den to rest in. The office/den is furnished with a built-in desk/workspace, office chair, flat screen TV and DVD player, sofa, sitting chair and black out curtains.
