Lake Sinclair luxury on big water. Perfectly positioned on approximately 1.3 acres with sweeping views of the lake's largest water expanse, this custom-built 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers an exceptional lakeside lifestyle from the moment you enter. The gourmet kitchen anchors the home and features a striking 13-foot island, custom JennAir appliances, and beautifully preserved 100-year-old circle-sewn mixed oak flooring. The living room is centered by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling fireplace with gas logs, creating a warm and inviting gathering space framed by expansive water views. The primary suite is conveniently located on the main level, offering a private retreat with serene lake vistas. Also on the main level is a flexible bonus room with water views, ideal for a study, den, or hobby space. Upstairs, two well-appointed guest bedrooms provide comfort and privacy, while a spacious bunkroom with built-in bunks comfortably sleeps up to eight. Thoughtful details continue throughout, including a standout mudroom featuring a vintage 100-year-old cast iron sink. Outdoor living is equally impressive with a full-width screened porch, lakeside firepit, and a double boathouse providing effortless access to the water. A detached three-car garage with heating and air conditioning offers ample space for vehicles, lake toys, and additional storage. Every element of this home has been carefully curated, blending timeless craftsmanship with modern luxury in one of Lake Sinclair's most desirable settings.
