Where the Waters MeetWhile many residences in this area of the Lake Country are historic lakeside homes and traditional country farmhouses, this home features comfortable, spacious rooms with modern amenities. Built in 2004, this 5,400-square foot home is a comfortable retreat for family and friends who gather for casual celebrations. Its neutral and earth-toned décor was designed to focus on its greatest asset the lake—and the breathtaking views out every window of the home. Its predecessor was an old house on a flat piece of land; the homoeowners transformed this parcel to gently slope toward the lake. It features exceptional landscaping that enhances privacy and enjoyment of the natural surroundings. They built their two-story Nantucket-style home to include a walk-out basement overlooking 125 feet of sand bottom frontage and completely unobstructed views of the lake. Upon entering this home, the spacious front entryway opens into the great room with high ceilings and sweeping views of Lac La Belle. This gathering space includes comfortable seating and a beautiful natural fireplace and blends seamlessly into the dining room. Adjacent to these more casual spaces, the state-of-the-art kitchen serves as the official hub of the first floor. Beautiful cherry flooring runs throughout the entire entertainment space and complements the custom cabinetry in the kitchen and dining room. Completing the kitchen space are stainless steel appliances, a professional six-burner stove with double-oven and granite countertops. A light and airy screened porch located off the kitchen is the perfect spot to catch a cool lake breeze or exit to the deck and the stairs leading to the backyard. If you’d rather sit back and soak up the lake scene, sailing regattas occur every weekend and can be viewed while relaxing in the eight-person hot tub. The lower level provides additional entertainment space including a family room complete with a pool table area and a “summer kitchen” with wet bar and wine refrigerator. When they’ve had enough fun in the sun, the media room is a favorite hangout for the homeowners and their guests. Up to eight people can relax in leather recliners and watch their favorite movies, television shows, concerts or sporting events play out across a 100-inch screen, while the added affect of surround-sound makes you feel part of the action. |
