The interior is done with reclaimed antique heart of pine & brick flooring to create a warm atmosphere. The front stuccoed wall is 18" thick with door jambs about 16" thick. Upon entering the front door the cased opening & transom from the foyer views the family room with stained cypress millwork. There is a custom cypress mantle & bookcases to the ceiling with a bank of windows that extend across the rear of the room. The family room also has surround sound as well as the back porch. The dining room is large & inviting with the same heart of pine flooring. The kitchen/breakfast area has a warm brick floor, antique pine beams & old cypress cabinets for an old world ambiance. To the left of the living quarters lies the bedroom wing. The master suite overlooks the lake to the rear & the lush landscaped rear yard sloping towards a pier & private deck. Other bedrooms are accessed from the loggia(an oversized hallway). The loggia is beamed & decked with old heart of pine with brick floors & a floor to ceiling window to view the lake. The 4th bedroom & adjacent bath off the kitchen leads to a mudroom, laundry & storage areas. The garage has a separate air conditioned boat port which can be used as a workshop. This home is on a deep cul-de-sac lot for privacy & sits back from the street with a large lake view with an incredible patio & outside entertaining area. This home is a one of a kind in this area.
