Property Description
Experience an unparalleled waterfront lifestyle on coveted all-sports Upper Straits Lake, where 134 feet of private lake frontage sets the stage for this architecturally distinctive estate designed by Tringali. Sweeping water views and a private sandy beach create an idyllic backdrop for this exceptional 4-bedroom residence, thoughtfully designed for both grand-scale entertaining and everyday living. A dramatic, light-filled great room with soaring ceilings and walls of glass captures breathtaking lake views, while the beautifully appointed chef’s kitchen flows seamlessly into the home’s expansive living and entertaining spaces. The luxurious main-level primary suite offers a serene private retreat complete with a spa-like bath, while a handsome home office with custom built-ins provides an elegant and functional workspace. Generously sized secondary bedrooms offer exceptional accommodations. The incredible walkout lower level is designed for both recreation and entertaining, featuring a spacious family room, second kitchen, stunning state-of-the-art wine cellar, dedicated workout room, and an impressive indoor half-court basketball court complete with NCAA-standard flooring and walls, plus an abundance of storage. Outdoors, expansive entertaining spaces overlook the water and lead to your private sandy beach, offering effortless access to boating, swimming, and everything Upper Straits Lake has to offer. The private dock and pontoon boat are included in the sale, allowing you to enjoy the lake from day one. A four-car garage, whole-house generator, integrated Control4 smart home system, elegant circular drive, and beautifully landscaped grounds complete this remarkable property. A rare opportunity to experience resort-style living from the privacy of your own lakefront estate.
