What started out as a cottage in 1930 has been fully transformed into a turn-key, one-of-a-kind custom built, 2900sf country contemporary situated on .39 acre in the highly sought after Candlewood Isle community. This meticulous home’s main level features an open kitchen/dining area, an office, half bath, large living room with stone fireplace, laundry nook, and a mud-room leading to the 2-car garage. When walking in the front door, take note of the quality of craftsmanship of the entryway. The front doors are reclaimed oak from NY and are cased in solid 4x7 oak beams. Once inside, look up to see the tongue-and-groove, barrel-rolled ceiling in the entryway. Then walk past the fireplace and look back to the front door. It’ll seem as if you’re looking out a beautiful arched window above the front door. Enjoy winter nights in front of the living room’s stone fireplace. No need to worry about making a mess while hauling wood through the front door. This home has a copper-lined wood storage box that opens from the inside and outside. The kitchen/dining area is just off the living room where you’ll find wood & glass cabinetry, custom LED recessed lighting, granite counters, an oversized oak island with seating for 4, stainless steel appliances, and a custom built wood/glass pantry. -----more-----> You’ll find the bedrooms on the 2nd level. The large primary bedroom features a balcony overlooking the backyard, an oversized walk-in closet with built-in drawers, an extra large private bath with a deep tub, a large walk-in shower with heated floors, double sinks, and plenty of counter & storage space. Two more generously sized bedrooms each with a walk-in closet, and a full bath with a Jacuzzi style bathtub finish out the 2nd floor. Be sure to look out the front windows, beautiful lake views can be seen. And on the 3rd floor, you’ll find a large bonus space ready to suit your needs. Wood floors (wide-plank pine boards or hardwood) and tongue-and-groove ceilings are throughout most of the home. Additional features of the home include fresh paint (inside and out in 2020), central air (except for 3rd floor), central vacuum, hot water recirculating system, whole house water filter. The crawlspace, accessible from an exterior door, is clean and dry, houses mechanicals and storage and has recently been insulated with spray foam. Walk out of the dining/kitchen area to enjoy outdoor living in your exceptionally landscaped, level yard complete with 2 gazebos, multi-level deck/patio areas, mature plantings giving your yard privacy, peek-a-boo lake views, stone walls, walkways, and a tiki-bar! The covered tiki-bar comes complete with refrigerator, sink, TV & removable custom screens. The backyard also includes a separate driveway to allow extra parking space and a large custom built shed.
