As of October 2022

One of a Kind, all brick, 5 bedroom walk-out ranch on private cul-de-sac backing to the LAKE! 7 Windsong Way has every unique and special amenity on any Dream Home list. NO detail was overlooked.... coffered ceilings, hardwood floors, custom built-in bookcases & nooks, french doors, arched entryways, a dedicated dining room with a butlers pantry, a gourmet kitchen with high end appliances and Subzero fridge and beautiful, huge windows allowing for tons of natural light & breathtaking views. A gorgeous library offers arched built-in bookcases, glass french doors & a charming gas fireplace. All five bedrooms are generously sized & each offer an ensuite bath. Unbelievable finished Walk-Out lower level showcases an enormous, bright family room with beamed ceiling, fireplace, game area with walls of built-in bookcases & an extensive kitchenette! If a mini bar is less your style...walk on over to the AMAZING climate-controlled wine cellar! Better yet...the state of the art theatre room like no other...which boasts tiered rows of leather comfort seating facing a huge theater screen atop an actual stage! It's heavily insulated for sound, has updated technology, new amp & all new carpeting. Last but not least, a spacious flex room featuring built-in cabinets with glass doors, handscraped hardwood floors, accent lighting, beamed ceiling & double accordion doors leading to the stone patio. A little secret in this room...there is a tv behind the framed art on the wall! The truly one of a kind, private backyard is an entertainer's dream complete with a chef's kitchen with stone woodfired pizza oven, Lynx appliances including huge grill, fridge, a warmer, stone top bar & a built-in outdoor fireplace. The professionally landscaped yard is fully fenced with multi-tiered patios & decks & overlooks the lake. There are TWO awesome fountains...one in the front of the home & another in back which hardscapes into your very own stream! A PRIVATE secluded sports court with basketball hoop is also a big hit! Oversized, heated 3-car garage with new Rivian EV outlet charger, storage cabinetry & professionally finished flooring! Upgraded smart technology throughout home including new software & Control4 smart monitors for smart lighting, sound, music, security & theatre. New central vac equipment. Irrigation system.
