This spectacular and luxurious lakefront residence in the highly sought-after Lakelands Subdivision offers true resort-style living at its finest. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac and set on a rare 1.14-acre lakefront lot, the home is ideally positioned on the smaller, quieter lake, which is connected to the larger lake-providing added privacy while still enjoying full lake access. Breathtaking water views can be enjoyed from nearly every window, with the ability to boat, fish, and swim directly from your own backyard, all while taking in stunning year-round scenery. This full brick and stone masterpiece features 5 spacious bedrooms, 5 full bathrooms, 2 fireplaces, and a beautifully finished walk-out basement, thoughtfully designed for both everyday comfort and elegant entertaining. Offering three expansive levels of living space, the home includes 4,070 square feet above grade plus an additional 2,105 square feet in the walk-out lower level, totaling an impressive 6,175 square feet. Step into the grand two-story foyer with an elegant flared staircase that leads into the gourmet kitchen and inviting family room. Here, sweeping lake views, brand-new carpet, a gas fireplace, built-in surround sound, and a dramatic vaulted ceiling create the perfect gathering space. Separate formal living and dining rooms also feature new carpet, adding to the home’s refined appeal. The chef’s kitchen is a standout, boasting high-end stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry with specialty pull-outs, a large island with breakfast bar and Bosch induction cooktop, roll-out pantry shelving, hardwood floors, a planning desk, and a generous eat-in area. The main level also offers a den/private office or optional 4th bedroom-ideal for an in-law arrangement-with a full bath nearby, along with a mudroom and laundry room. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite impresses with an enormous walk-in closet and a spa-inspired bath featuring an oversized walk-in shower with dual shower heads, dual vanities, a whirlpool tub framed by columns, and a vaulted ceiling. One additional bedroom shares a Jack-and-Jill bath with the large loft, while another ensuite bedroom offers a spacious layout and volume ceiling. The breathtaking walk-out basement is an entertainer’s dream, complete with a fully equipped second kitchen (stainless steel refrigerator, dishwasher, stove), granite countertops, center island, expansive recreation room with fireplace and surround sound, 5th bedroom, workout room, craft/play room, full bath, and a large storage area. Outdoor living is elevated with a newer Trex deck featuring horizontal stainless-steel cable railing for unobstructed lake views and a built-in natural gas line for grilling.
