Adjacent to the home, an additional one-acre lakefront lot is available for purchase, providing the perfect opportunity for privacy or future development. Inside, the artistry begins in the barrel-ceiling foyer, where the striking Gangster Reunion artwork and re-finished hardwood floors lead you to full-length windows framing stunning lake vistas. The hexagonal dining room, flooded with natural light and surrounded by panoramic water views, is an architectural masterpiece. Step onto the balcony to admire the vibrant landscaping, serene waters, and graceful blue herons. The first-floor owner's suite is a sanctuary of sophistication, offering expansive lake views, a serene sitting room, and a spa-like bathroom with dual private Toto toilets, blending luxury with thoughtful design. Upstairs, you'll find a private nanny/guest suite and four additional en-suite bedrooms, each with its own smart thermostat for personalized comfort. The lower level is an entertainer's dream, featuring water views, a pool table, a media room, a bar area, a guest bedroom/workout room, and a screened patio with space to add a future swimming pool.
