Property Description
Wake each morning to the peaceful setting of this custom lakefront home on the shores of Lake Sara, with water views and surrounding natural landscape. Enjoy mornings on the covered deck overlooking the lake. Inside, the home offers 22-foot vaulted ceilings with custom exposed cedar beams, Andersen windows and doors, and abundant natural light throughout. The main living area connects to a well-designed kitchen featuring quartzite countertops, a large island, premium appliances, and space for gathering and entertaining. The primary suite is a spa-like retreat, featuring custom walnut cabinetry, a double vanity, soaking tub, and large windows that bring in natural light and views of the surrounding landscape. Bedrooms are generously sized; two upstairs rooms feature exposed beams. The finished walkout lower level includes additional bedrooms, a full bath, family room, game room, and storage. It opens to a covered porch with a gas fireplace. Outdoor living is a standout feature, with a covered 32-foot upper deck and an expansive waterside concrete patio lined with seating areas. The private dock, waterside patio and covered boat slip provide easy access to boating, fishing, and time on the lake. The property sits on over half an acre and includes upgraded mechanical systems, a three-car oversized attached garage, an extended driveway, a fenced dog run, and space for a future in-ground pool.
