French doors lead to a sunroom filled with natural light and panoramic windows facing the lake. The formal dining room, perfect for memorable gatherings, delights with rich wood wainscoting and a built-in buffet. The adjacent breakfast room has a charming bay window and granite-topped cabinetry for added storage. Built for a chef, the kitchen boasts a center island with seating and abundant storage, granite countertops, wrap-around cabinetry, a Bosch stainless-steel double oven, 4-burner cooktop with grill in middle, and Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer provides space that's as functional as it is beautiful. A convenient pantry and back staircase add both charm and practicality. Before heading to the second floor, a powder room and stairs lead down to an office space with lovely windows. Upstairs, the second-floor landing offers a cozy window seat framed by built-in bookshelves. The primary bedroom is a true retreat, renovated by combining two rooms into one luxurious suite. The suite includes a spacious walk-in closet with extensive shelving and a large window, and a spa-like bath featuring a glass-enclosed sauna shower with seat, Kohler soaking tub, marble-topped vanity, additional storage, a washer and dryer, and a private water closet with a Toto self-rising toilet. Two additional bedrooms, one with an adjoining sunroom, and a well-appointed hall bath complete the second floor.

The basement features charming exposed brick walls, a French drain around the whole basement, generous storage areas, a large laundry room with refrigerator, freezer, modern appliances, and a workshop. A three-car garage completes the yard. Modern comfort meets historic character throughout, with details like hardwood flooring, custom built-ins, French doors, and abundant natural light enhancing every level of the home.
