Offered for the first time, this remarkable custom-built lakefront residence combines distinctive architecture, impressive craftsmanship, and 104 feet of private shoreline in a setting defined by water, light, and unforgettable western sunsets. Positioned on a peninsula, the home enjoys an extraordinary connection to the lake, with water visible from both sides of the primary bedroom. Designed to make the lake part of everyday life, the 3-bedroom, 3-bath home features dramatic gathering spaces, expansive windows, rich woodwork, stained-glass details, soaring wood-clad ceilings, exposed beams, Peruvian stone floors, and a commanding stone fireplace with wood stove. The spacious kitchen opens naturally to the main living areas, creating an inviting setting for entertaining and relaxed year-round waterfront living. A spectacular window-lined living room captures the lake from multiple angles beneath its architectural ceiling, offering a gathering space unlike anything found in a conventional home. The generous primary suite includes a sitting area, walk-in closet, substantial private bath, and remarkable water views in two directions, while two additional bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations for family and guests. Outside, mature trees, established landscaping, lawns, and patios lead to an impressive 15-foot-tall seawall, where a gazebo perches above the water. A 92-foot dock extends into the lake, creating an exceptional setting for swimming, boating, dining outside, or simply watching the sun descend over the water. Bold, individual, and thoughtfully created, this is far more than a house with frontage it is a true lake home, built with presence and offered for the first time to begin its next chapter.
