Inside, you’ll find a sunlit great room with 20-foot vaulted ceilings, mid-century furnishings, and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the trees and lake.

The lofted master suite features skylights and serene lake views, while three additional bedrooms offer comfortable space for families or groups.
