The home is designed to be a private oasis, featuring a setting with no public access to the lake, allowing for uninterrupted tranquility and panoramic views of the water. The estate exudes elegance with high-quality materials and luxury finishes throughout. The exterior combines brick, limestone, and EFIS/Dryvit, with striking Indiana Buff limestone pillars framing the home.
Upon entering, residents are greeted by a grand foyer with 10-foot mahogany doors and a sweeping staircase.
