The meticulously landscaped grounds feature the original, restored tea house, affectionately known as the "Sound of Music" Gazebo, along with a charming pool house that feels like a private retreat, complete with a studio-style great room, renovated kitchen, pool, and Jacuzzi. The main home is a grand, custom-built brick Georgian masterpiece with 7 bedrooms and 7.3 bathrooms. Upon entry, guests are greeted by a breathtaking double bridal staircase and an arched entrance leading into a grand great room, anchored by an elegant paneled office and a newly expanded chef's kitchen and breakfast area-all with stunning eastern views of the estate and lake. Flanking the foyer are formal living and dining rooms connected by a spectacular arched gallery hallway. The second floor boasts an exquisite master suite with a newly remodeled spa-like bathroom, walk-in closet, sauna, expansive glass shower, and a Jacuzzi. Five additional bedroom suites, a convenient laundry room, and a cozy family room complete the upper level. The newly finished walkout English basement is designed for relaxation and entertainment, featuring a spacious family/recreation/exercise room, a card room with a bar and wine cooler, and ample storage. With two double garages (four indoor spaces total), a first-floor guest suite, and breathtaking lake views, this exceptional estate is ready to become your haven for spectacular sunrise views each morning.
