The updated open style kitchen has a cooktop stove and a double wall oven and plenty of cabinets and updated (2025) gorgeous quartz countertops. There is also newer hardwood floors (2019) and all new (2025) kitchen appliances plus a desirable new (2025) beverage counter. The kitchen window looks out at the rock garden and fountain. The large dining area and main floor family rooms stay bright with large windows keeping this area bright even on a cloudy day and if you come on a cloudy day come back on a sunny day and look how the lake sparkles through the trees. Moving on to more of this main floor level you will see a peaceful area where you can relax and enjoy the views and it is also makes for a perfect quaint entertainment area for you and your guests.

In the winter you will see your neighbors skating on the lake and you can design you own path to get to your lakeshore as in the summer kayaking is also popular. This is truly a beautiful location. You have always heard the term quite popular in real estate which is location-location-location. Well this is a very rare location-location -location and another location as this home is close to a park and two miles from Ridgedale with a choice of casual and fine dining restaurants and both major department stores plus many specialty stores but that is not all.
