Incredible opportunity to purchase one amazing brick waterfront home on 1+ acre - or TWO homes side by side (plus a 3rd fully finished apartment - see MLS 890649)! First, let's look at the main event - a nearly new, 2019 contractor built and owned home, with the most updated farmhouse style and charm you'd expect. Upon entry, the foyer is styled with a barrel vault pine tongue and groove ceiling, with sconce lighting and columns, perfectly planned to display art or precious family photos. Next, opening up to the great room, you'll find tons of light from the windows framing the water view, with more tongue and groove ceilings, this time vaulted. Each space is generously sized for comfort. From the well appointed kitchen with raised breakfast bar, gas range, the newest in stainless steel appliances, a double pantry between the kitchen and utility room. The colors and textures blend seamlessly with brick, pine, bamboo, charcoal gray cabinets and white quartz counters. The dining area comfortably seats 8, taking in the back yard and lake views. The wet bar with wine fridge is conveniently located dining and living room adjacent. Neutral hue, durable engineered bamboo flooring with hand-scraped finish throughout, except in tiled wet areas. The roomy master suite with lake view is a true retreat, including striking trey ceiling, complete with ambient lighting. The master bath embodies luxury, with marble look tile throughout and quartz counters with no amenity forgotten: soaking tub, fully tiled large walk-in shower, 2 vanities, separate makeup vanity, water closet and expansive walk-in closet. Additional 3 bedrooms are generously sized, as are the additional full bathrooms. On either side of the great room are 2 multi-functional rooms. While currently used as a play room and office, they could easily serve a multitude of purposes, only limited by your imagination. Stepping out into the backyard, the first thing you'll notice is how much space you have to create whatever your heart's desire. With waterfront views of Lake Juniper, fishing, boating or canoeing are at your fingertips. The quiet is only interrupted by the ducks and birds. There's even a pole barn to help contain the toys. This contractor-owner thought of everything, including an extensive underground drainage system for water drainage to the lake. Back inside, the walls & attic all have foam insulation for superior efficiency, as well as wiring for structured media panel (cat 5 for smart switches) and wiring for interior and exterior cameras on all 4 corners. The neighbor and family members next door have offered their property for sale as well, so there is a truly unique opportunity to have family or friends living side-by-side. If you're looking for top notch construction, with lots of space inside and out, in a fantastic location, this one is not to be missed. We've included a few altered photos to show the property with seasonal green grass.
