Description

Discover lakefront living at its finest in this custom-built home on a level lot along Lake Shafer. Built in 2003, this stunning property offers nearly 3,500 sq. ft. of living space with 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and numerous updates. Enjoy breathtaking panoramic views from the living room, featuring cathedral ceilings and expansive lakeside windows. The open-concept main kitchen boasts a tile backsplash, an island, and seamless flow into the living area. A fully finished walkout basement includes a second kitchen, leading to a covered patio equipped with automatic hurricane shutters. Outdoors, relax on the maintenance-free lakeside decks or take advantage of two permanent boat lifts for easy waterfront access. Recent updates include new hardwood floors, bathrooms, carpet, all lakeside windows, and staircase windows. Major system upgrades include a new HVAC system (2018), a whole-house generator, steel seawall (2018), concrete parking pad at the house and concrete driveway added to the garage, and a roof replacement (2022) with new fascia, soffits, and 6-inch gutters. A privacy fence adds to the home’s appeal. Bonus: A separate lot across the street includes a two-car garage, perfect for additional storage. Located in a highly desirable area, this one-of-a-kind lakefront retreat/home is a must-see!
