Built to fully embrace its elevated setting, the home offers stunning sightlines from nearly every main living space, all without a single interior step. The arrival is intentional and impressive, leading to ample parking at the top—comfortably accommodating up to six vehicles—making entertaining easy and stress-free. Once inside, the home opens into a light-filled living and dining area anchored by a striking stone electric fireplace and expansive Silverline casement windows that frame the lake like living artwork. Designed for both elegance and everyday ease, the kitchen is a standout with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an abundance of white shaker cabinetry—all lower cabinets thoughtfully designed as drawers for exceptional accessibility. A generous walk-in pantry adds function without compromising style. Multiple spaces invite relaxation and versatility, including a sunroom-style family room perfectly positioned to soak in the views, a private office or hobby room with barn doors, and an additional sitting or media room tucked behind the kitchen. The primary suite is a serene escape, featuring a tray ceiling, walk-in closet, and spa-inspired bath with dual comfort-height vanities, a tiled walk-in shower, and a jacuzzi tub—all with views that elevate daily living.

A dedicated hot tub room—hot tub included—adds a resort-like touch, while the outdoor concrete patio and natural rock backdrop create a secluded, peaceful setting.
