Welcome home to this exceptional lakefront residence prominently situated on Lake Merial. This stunning brick home has been meticulously maintained and upgraded with all the finest features. From the soaring double tray ceilings to the high-quality flooring, nothing was overlooked from top to bottom. Upon entering, the study to the left has built-in cabinetry, a large bay window, and added French doors for privacy. The spacious, open-concept living area provides plenty of room for oversized furniture and hosting gatherings. There is both a formal dining room plus a breakfast table space, not to mention the kitchen with custom cabinets, stainless appliances, granite countertops, and a pantry for additional storage. The HVAC was recently replaced for peace of mind. Adjacent to the living room, the previous patio was enclosed to make a cozy sitting room. This adds to the existing home size to make it a grand 2756 sqft. The generously sized primary bedroom features windows overlooking the lake, both a tiled shower and a tub, a double vanity, and a large walk-in closet with built-in shelving. On the other side of the home sits the second bedroom which also features lakeview windows, a second bath with custom tile shower, plus a third bedroom currently being used as an office. As if that weren't enough, there is an upstairs flex room above the 2-car garage that could be utilized as an additional bedroom, hobby room, or storage space.
