A full bath, laundry and utility room with an extensive row of cabinetry, countertops, and sink add convenience. A door provides direct access to the backyard, where the beautiful lake views continue. Outdoor living is truly exceptional, with multiple levels of patios and gathering spaces cascading toward the water. An impressive, extra-wide bluestone staircase with black metal railings leads down to the home and its expansive first-level patio overlooking the lake. Continue down to the backyard, where a combination of patio, grassy lawn, and hot tub creates another wonderful setting for relaxation and entertaining. Closer to the water's edge, an approximately 50-foot-wide patio is furnished with Adirondack chairs and outdoor living furniture, offering the perfect place to enjoy the waterfront setting. Finally, your own private dock puts the lake right at your doorstep. The recreational opportunities are endless, beginning right outside your door. Enjoy ice skating, hockey, and ice fish
