Rustic Beginnings with Lakeside Living. This home that was originally a hunting cabin has been transformed over the years to a hideaway tucked away with a private lane w/ circular driveway nestled among towering trees and 200' of waterfront on Moore's Lake on two-acre home site. As you enter the home, the over-sized foyer greets you with the back of the massive stone fireplace that provides the perfect area for welcoming your guests. To the right is the kitchen w/ large island and views of wooded landscape, the side deck, and views of the waterfront through the large formal dining room outfitted with discrete built-in storage. The main great room features a beamed ceiling and warmth of the large stone fireplace with full view of the lake from the wall of windows and sliders opening to the large deck w/ bench seating and perfect for entertaining. Connected to the great room is the now essential home office with a lake view, or the perfect guestroom for that quick weekend visit. The bedroom wing, with its separate HVAC zone, offers a totally remodeled owners suite with large upscale new bath and even more desirable lake views. There is a large hall bath w/ laundry and two additional bedrooms, one with its own full bath. There is an additional 1/2 bath conveniently located for visiting guests and there are 10-closets spread throughout the house, four of which are double-sized. Seller has made many updates since his purchase, but work location is taking him out of area prior to completing his dream renovation. He may include his plans with the purchase of this spectacular property. Oh, I forgot to mention that there is a dock and although it needs some work it is grandfathered in for use. The home and the detached two-bay garage and workshop is sold "as is" but a list of updates is provided by seller. Inspections by buyers are for informational purposes only. Don't hesitate to see this unique home and add your personal touches for your own hideaway.
