Meticulously renovated and reconfigured in 2022, this residence harmoniously blends the timeless charm of Tudor architecture with contemporary elegance and functionality. The classic stone exterior of this Tudor home maintains its historic allure while seamlessly integrating modern upgrades. The lush landscaping and private stone patio provide an inviting outdoor space, with steps leading directly to the lake, ensuring year-round enjoyment of the fresh, lake breeze. Step inside and be immediately captivated by the dramatic black-and-white foyer that sets the tone for the rest of the home. The updated powder room and new hardwood floors create a sophisticated entrance.

The grand living room features a completely renovated gas-burning fireplace with its original mantle preserved, offering both warmth and character.

Adjacent to the living room is the newly rebuilt four-seasons sunroom, designed to maximize the lake views and fresh air. With heated floors providing additional warmth, this space is perfect for year-round relaxation and opens onto your private stone patio. A thoughtfully designed office/den area at the front of the house also boasts stunning lake views. The reconfigured kitchen is a true highlight, featuring beautiful stone countertops, a substantial island with breakfast bar seating, high-end appliances, and ample storage, including a dedicated pantry and beverage bar. The adjacent covered porch with a gas grill allows for year-round outdoor dining and barbecuing. The newly added mudroom provides ample storage and organizational space for everyday essentials. Conveniently located off the kitchen, it also includes a second laundry room for added practicality.
