Experience the very best of lakefront living in this beautifully maintained, custom-built waterfront home on scenic Lake Carroll. Meticulously cared for by a longtime owner, this bright, immaculate property offers 144 feet of private shoreline and sits on nearly two-thirds of an acre with manicured grounds and breathtaking panoramic views. Inside, the main level features soaring 14' cathedral ceilings, Marvin high-efficiency windows, and a dramatic "greenhouse" window wall that floods the home with natural light and captures sweeping lake vistas. The open-concept living area includes Hunter-Douglass window treatments (three motorized), ceiling fans throughout, and a flue-less wood-burning fireplace with a Brazilian marble surround, delivering warmth and ambiance. A spacious 6' x 40' upper deck overlooks both the hillside and the water, providing an ideal space to relax or entertain. The lower level is a private wellness retreat, complete with a jetted whirlpool tub with dual motors and in-line heater for optimal comfort, and a six-person sauna with its own shower. Thoughtful updates include new vinyl entry stairs and a new stairway with a lower deck leading to the shoreline, both completed in 2024. Additional highlights include a 2009 roof, 400'+ deep well with 2012 pump, 2016 HVAC, a 22,000 kW whole-house generator, an R/O drinking water system with UV purification, and an oversized 3.5-car heated garage with durable polyurea flooring.
