About This Home

As of December 2024

Living large is the best way to describe this lakefront estate in the Timberlane private beach association with 8800+ sq/ft on almost 3/4 of an acre. A castle-worthy front door enters to a carved winding staircase flowing into the living room with a grandiose stone fireplace anchoring three floors. The great room has magnificent views of the lake with light streaming from floor to 30 ft. vaulted ceiling. Invite the entire family for Thanksgiving to the dining room seating 30 comfortably not including the kids' table. The party doesn't stop there! The basement allows easy walk-out access to the pool and lofted tree house, and inside hosts a game room including billiards and Kegerator wet bar, Oscars and Super Bowl ready! Find cozy comfort in a bedroom suite to witness the splendor of sunset
