About This Home

A rare opportunity to own a spectacular ranch with sweeping Lake Eleanor views and lake rights. Located in Lake Eleanor Estates, this three-bedroom, three-bath home offers peaceful lakefront living with fishing and boating privileges. Beautiful water views are enjoyed from every rear-facing window, creating a serene backdrop throughout the home. The main living space features an inviting great room with a wood-beamed ceiling and Italian porcelain flooring. Sliding glass doors open to a balcony spanning the full width of the home, making it an ideal setting for morning coffee or evening sunsets overlooking the lake. The primary bedroom features hardwood floors, a walk-in closet, and an ensuite bathroom with a new vanity and quartz countertop. Two additional bedrooms with hardwood floors and a hall bath complete the main level. The walk-out lower level is designed for both relaxation and entertaining, offering a spacious family room with a wood-burning fireplace with gas setup, a recreation room, a full bath, and an office or exercise room. Sliding doors open to a large patio, a sandy beach, and seamless access to the shoreline. Recent improvements include a new roof, new gutters with oversized downspouts, newer zoned A/C units providing independent temperature control, a tankless water heater, sump pumps with backup, and a completely rebuilt shoreline stone retaining wall. Additional updates include a new concrete walkway and stoop, a new front door with sidelights and exterior lighting, new garage door, a fenced dog run with pea gravel, and an invisible dog fence. Custom landscaping with ornamental trees and flowerbeds enhances the thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces, creating effortless indoor-outdoor living and tranquil lake views year-round. Served by award-winning schools, this exceptional home offers a unique blend of natural beauty, recreation, and comfort in a highly desirable setting.
