STUNNING CUSTOM-BUILT TIMBER FRAME HOME ON LOST LAKE - BEING SOLD TURN KEY! Welcome to this exceptional one-owner, custom built timber frame home, with an original cost of over $700, 00.00. Nestled on the serene shores of Lost Lake, this residence possesses breathtaking views and luxurious features throughout. QUALITY CONSTRUCTION: Timber frame homes are almost always custom built and this is no exception. The design process requires extra attention to integrate beams with windows/doors and ensure structural integrity. Timber frame construction provides structural insulated panels (14 inches in the ceilings) which cost more upfront than conventional studded walls; but offer long term savings in energy efficiency. Building on a hillside also added to the original building costs but rewards you with unparalleled scenic views! Wood species used in this home include: cedar, Douglas fir, red and white oak. The home's exterior is cedar which was repainted and resealed in 2023. New roof and gutters in 2020. The 14' x 18 ' x 18' high storage shed with loft has durable James Hardie siding and 2x6 framing. SPACIOUS LIVING: With over 3000 square feet of finished living space, this home's open concept design seamlessly connects the living, dining, and kitchen areas. Vaulted ceilings in the main and loft areas as well as 10-foot ceilings in the lower level, creating an airy and inviting atmosphere. This home offers 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, a finished walk out lower level, and a large loft area which can be used as additional sleeping space, home office, playroom, hobby room, or a combination - the possibilities are endless! ELEGANT DESIGN: Enjoy the beauty of the beamed construction, wood ceiling, hardwood Carlisle Hickory floors, leaded glass accents, and custom oak doors showcasing the unique craftsmanship and attention to details in this home which exudes a warm and rustic charm. The home also boasts a plethora of top of the line Kolbe windows and patio doors allowing you to enjoy the stunning views of the lake and an abundance of natural light. Every detail in the kitchen from the Indiana marble countertops, roll out drawers, wine rack, and other custom design elements offer a unique blend of style and convenience. OUTDOOR PARADISE: The huge cantilevered exposed aggregate concrete patio, decks, and docks provide expansive outdoor spaces perfect for entertaining or simply soaking in the stunning lake views. Take advantage of the private decks and docks for an array of recreational activities that make lake living so desirable. The large 2 story storage shed is perfect for all your toys and equipment. This property sits on 2 lakefront parcels providing over 161 ft of lake frontage. This unique home was a labor of love and is a true gem offering luxury, comfort, and a lifestyle that is second to none. It is priced well below its value- plus, the house is being sold turn-key! With the exception of some personal items (i.e.: fishing poles, clothing, needlepoints, family photos), the contents of the property will remain.
