With four levels of finished living space, the home is filled with natural light, lake glimpses, and original architectural character. The spacious living room flows from a gracious foyer, while the beautifully renovated kitchen features high-end appliances, a marble island, and an open dining area ideal for daily use or entertaining. Adjacent, the family room overlooks a serene backyard with a pool and lush, mature landscaping. A bright sunroom offers the perfect retreat for a private office or quiet relaxation. Upstairs, the second floor includes four bedrooms and two baths, including a south- and east-facing primary suite with seasonal lake views, a charming sitting room or office, and a spa-like bath with separate tub and steam shower. The third floor adds flexibility with a fifth bedroom, an updated full bath, and a spacious bonus room for a sixth bedroom, office, or playroom. The finished basement provides a full bath with steam shower, rec room, gym, laundry, and ample storage. A functional mudroom connects the home to the backyard, pool, and radiant-heated two-car garage. Above the garage, a fully renovated and sun-filled coach house includes a new kitchen and bath, updated HVAC, and charming details throughout-an excellent option for a guest suite, private office, or rental income.
