The gracious double doors enter into a foyer with a flowing staircase and heart pine floors that continue into the living room, dining, and kitchen. The kitchen has custom cabinetry, white honed marble countertops, 2 sinks, large island, and top of the line appliances including Sub Zero, Wolf, and Dacor. Just off the kitchen is a peaceful new sunroom with double French doors overlooking the lake and a marble stone floor. Also located on the first floor is a large mahogany-paneled family room/den with fireplace and wood paneled wet bar. The master bedroom is located on the 2nd floor with French doors leading onto a wrap-around balcony overlooking the lake and backyard. Three additional bedrooms and a separate laundry room are located on the 2nd floor. A finished 3rd floor, accessed by spiral staircase, is ideal for a media/playroom or fitness area. Other features of this home include a walk-in attic for storage, invisible pet fence, outdoor mosquito repellent system, and attached 2-car garage.
