About This Home

Architect-designed contemporary home with 200 feet of sandy beach frontage on pristine Lake Willoughby in search of its second owner. Situated on the 1.06-acre property to create privacy while taking full advantage of the stunning 160-degree lake & mountain views, this home does not disappoint. The level, grassy lot offers room for games, gardening & pets, plus you have 1,000 sq. ft. of composite decking for relaxing & entertaining. Inside is just as amazing, starting in the central great room with its soaring ceiling, wood-burning fireplace with floor-to-ceiling stone surround & a curved wall of windows. Cherry cabinetry topped with Canadian granite defines the kitchen area, which features a sizable island, double wall oven, & electric cooktop. Located off the kitchen is a walk-in pantry/laundry room. Two wings extend from the slate-floored foyer: the north wing offers an office with an L-shaped built-in desk, a large cedar closet & two walk-in closets on the way to the expansive primary bedroom, a quiet retreat from family & guests. Here you’ll enjoy lake views from the seating area, as well as the en suite bath with dual sinks, soaking tub & separate shower. You’ll find a 1⁄2 bath, 2 bedrooms—one with lake views—and a full bath in the other wing. A detached 3-bay garage with overhead storage can store vehicles, boats, snowmobiles (close to VAST), and more. The property is flanked by trees on both sides creating privacy. Luxury lake living awaits—are you ready?
