Nestled along a serene, shallow cove in the heart of Cherry Home Shores, this charming 4-bed, 2.5-bath home offers 95 feet of shoreline with sweeping easterly views and the feel of a protected bay. Set on two generous parcels, the property features a lush grassy lawn, mature trees, and a handsome stone wall which creates separation from the road. Lakeside, a spectacular deck overlooks the landscaped yard to the water beyond. Follow the boardwalk across the deep, sandy beach to the shore - here, it's a rock-hunter's paradise! Inside, comfort and thoughtful design abound. The main-level living area boasts soaring ceilings, skylights, and breathtaking lake views. A gas fireplace with stone surround anchors the room, and adds intimacy and warmth to the space. Entertaining is a breeze here - prepare dinner in the beautiful island kitchen and enjoy your meal in the adjacent dining room or on the deck. Take note of the incredible screened in porch - a perfect setting for lakeside coffee or evening cocktails. Find privacy in the main-floor primary suite - this room enjoys views of the water and includes a walk-in closet and generous bathroom. Across the hall, a quiet office (or bedroom) adds flexiblity to the home. The second level landing overlooks the main living area and could be a lovely reading nook or play space. Two bedrooms flank either side, each with operable skylights that frame glimpses of the lake. Above the garage is a surprise bonus room, presently used as an artist's studio. This area could easily serve as a bunk room, bedroom, or private office. Storage in this home is plentiful, including attic nooks, generous closets, an oversized 2.5-car garage, and basement with both interior and exterior access. A few recent updates to this home include a whole-house generator, wood flooring, induction cooktop, newer furnace, and mini-split system above the garage. This is wonderful, well-rounded home, perfect for year-round living or your up north retreat!
