Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings with tongue-and-groove wood beams, rich wood flooring, and two gas-burning fireplaces invite both relaxation and refined entertaining. The heart of the home is the oversized kitchen, featuring granite countertops, extensive cabinetry, a center island, breakfast bar, and breakfast nook, all with panoramic lake views thanks to the nearby family room. Adjacent living and dining spaces offer plenty of room for gathering, while multiple screened porches along the home’s exterior provide peaceful, shaded spots to take in the natural surroundings.
