Waterfront, private and shaded by mature trees-this split-level home offers an exceptional setting with beautiful views of Long Lake. A large covered brick patio with exposed beams, fans and a firepit overlooks the water, creating an outdoor living space made for morning coffee, dinner with friends or quiet evenings at home. Inside, reclaimed hardwood and Old Chicago brick floors, tall ceilings, architectural beams and oversized site-built windows give the home a warmth and character all its own. The picturesque living room is anchored by an oversized fireplace and built-ins. The formal dining room features a dramatic ceiling with beams, and abundant windows fill the home with natural light and frame the surrounding landscape. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen features to-the-ceiling cabinetry, abundant counter space, a custom walk-in pantry, commercial range and a reclaimed brick accent wall connecting it to the living area. The kitchen opens to a breakfast room overlooking the backyard and water. A dedicated powder room serves the main living and entertaining areas. The secluded primary suite offers direct patio access, lake views and a spacious closet with an island. On the opposite side of the home, three additional bedrooms are arranged around a second living area, creating a comfortable and inviting space. A welcoming side entry provides convenient access to this part of the home. Upstairs, a flexible bonus space offers room for an office, playroom, exercise room or third living area. Beautifully planned and filled with distinctive architectural details, this home offers something increasingly hard to find-a waterfront setting that simply cannot be duplicated.
