Welcome to a one-of-a-kind main lake waterfront home in the heart of Tower Lakes, where breathtaking views and serene surroundings greet you through walls of windows along the back of the home, both upstairs and down! This exceptional property offers a spacious open-floor plan designed for effortless living and entertaining. From the entryway, you are invited into a sitting room featuring a gas log fireplace. This area opens to the bright living room with skylights and floor to ceiling windows, an entertainment space open to the kitchen - renovated in 2017 with a lovely porcelain tile floor, granite countertops and buffet, soft-close cabinets, stainless steel appliances (Maytag refrigerator, microwave, 5-burner electric oven/range). Sliding glass doors lead from the eat-in kitchen to a deck overlooking the lake, while a charming brick patio invites you to relax and take in the scenery. French doors lead to a separate dining room with vaulted ceiling. Working from home couldn't be more enjoyable than in the huge first floor office with fabulous views through windows on three sides of the room, including a slider that leads to the brick patio with fabulous views of the lake. For privacy, close the French doors - and get to work! (Desk and bookcases can stay!) Imagine waking up to stunning lake views every morning from your expansive second floor primary bedroom suite, complete with sitting area, walk-in closet and built-ins!
