The vaulted eat-in kitchen includes granite counters, stainless appliances, breakfast bar, & direct lake views with access to an enormous full-length back deck overlooking the water. The adjacent family room adds skylights & a wood-burning fireplace, while the main-floor primary suite provides a practical long-term layout advantage with vaulted ceilings, lake views, a private bath with double sinks, jacuzzi tub, & separate shower. First-floor laundry with newer washer & dryer adds convenience, while the second level includes two additional bedrooms & a full bath.
