Back on the market-through no fault of the seller! Previous buyer bailed just a week before closing, so their loss can be your gain. Lakefront Living at Its Finest in Lakewood! Welcome to your dreamy lakefront retreat on a 28-acre stocked lake-perfect for fishing, swimming, and jet skiing all season long! This stunning 4-5 bedroom home (with a bonus room) features a main-level bedroom with an ensuite for added flexibility and convenience. Step into a grand foyer with soaring ceilings and a curved wood staircase-truly a showstopper for life's special moments. The open living and dining areas showcase built-in shelving and a brick gas log fireplace, making it the ideal space for both relaxing and entertaining. The gourmet kitchen, designed by Newman, is a cook's dream with solid surface counters, cherry cabinetry, a pantry, breakfast nook, and elegant marble flooring. The cozy family room looks out over a spacious deck with beautiful lake views. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like a retreat with a luxurious ensuite featuring double sinks, a jet tub, separate shower, and a walk-in closet. Bonus: The seller is repainting the master bedroom to give it a fresh, updated look! Need extra space? The bonus room (with built-ins) has its own private stairway to the garage and is also accessible through Bedroom 3-perfect for a media room, home office, or playroom. Throughout the home you'll notice solid six-panel doors, detailed trim work, and updated lighting highlighting the quality craftsmanship. Recent mechanical upgrades include zoned HVAC systems with air purifiers and a new 80-gallon hot water heater. Outdoor living is a dream too with a covered front porch, an open deck, and a small fenced area-all overlooking the sparkling lake. Seller is also offering up to $5,000 in concessions to help with flooring updates-giving you the opportunity to add your personal touch!
