Tired of cookie cutter floorplans? Then please visit this dramatically different Rocky Bayou lakefront home built by Gary Miller Homes.
Come in thru the double front doors into a foyer floored with burnished red oak! Look straight ahead where you will see the hallmark of this home: The memorable two-story window wall overlooking the woods and the lake! Because of the open design, you can see this feature from almost every room on the main level!.
The 2019 kitchen designed by Linn's Prestige Kitchens will please the most particular cook. Light & bright with lots of storage and workspace. Perfect for entertaining, too! The keeping room, directly off the kitchen, is where you can enjoy meals, and sit, chat, watch TV...comfortable family space! The master suite is located at the opposite end of the first level--privacy with a balcony and lake views! There is also a small sitting area for a desk or computer plus a large walk-in closet, and a lovely bath updated in 2016! The soaking tub, separate shower, vanity counters and sinks are all new! (see "practical facts" at the end of MLS for additional details).

To complete the upper level, there is a powder room and a large laundry room off the back hall between the kitchen and the garage.

Although I had to show the lower level as "B" (below ground), it definitely is NOT below ground. This home was specifically designed to fit the slope of the lot and to maximize light and the lake views. The great room as you can see reaches to the peak of the main floor so that the wall of windows brightens almost the entire home. Beautiful and durable red oak floors are used throughout this level. Imagine how lovely your area rugs will look here. Great for family life as well as for entertaining. No one will ever forget your parties here!

Two additional spacious bedrooms flank the great room. Both have great closet space and access to outdoor decks. There is a full bath, also updated, on this level. AND...some great additional storage is located off the hall and under the stairs.
