Relax and take in the joy of lake side living. Enjoy the lake view through the wall of windows out the back of the house or head outside to your deck, patio, hot tub overlooking the lake, or lakeside patio with an integrated fire pit. So many options to enjoy the view and setting. The lower lake side patio is the full width of the property by about 13 feet deep and features a stone wall with monuments from the old St. Albans Hotel and Health Resort, which operated on much of the land along this stretch of shoreline and the hill above. The current home was built in 2000 and features a wide open main level living area with great views from every space. The spacious kitchen offers ample natural light through the lower windows and features a wrap around counter top plus plentiful storage in the walk in pantry. A gas fireplace defines the living room and spacious dining room while creating a warm atmosphere in the cold months. Hardwood floors unify the main level living space and work with the wrap around windows to enhance the brightness of the interior. On the upper level, the view through the A-Frame windows captures the view for the primary suite from the moment you step out of bed. Tucked just behind the bedroom, the spacious tile bathroom includes a port-hole window to frame the view of the lake. Just outside the bathroom, you find a large walk-in closet with a built in dresser and plentiful hanging and shelf storage. For convenience, a semi-built in desk sits up in the window bay near the front of the bedroom. The other bedrooms sit on the main and lower levels, both offer spacious walk-in closets. The lower level has a band of windows to bring natural light from the lake side into the wide open amusement room. The stone fireplace gives warmth and definition to the space without breaking up the rooms – allowing maximum flexibility. The lower level 3/4 bathroom has been very nicely remodeled with new tile, vanity, plumbing fixtures, and shower. Throughout the home, storage is plentiful with large closets on every level and numerous closets in the lower level.
