About this home

Without a doubt, one of Lake James’ finest and most impeccably crafted custom homes, showcasing an exceptional blend of luxury and design. Situated on a 1.15-acre waterfront lot, the property features a gentle grade with effortless access to approximately 430 feet of pristine shoreline, complete with a private covered dock, golf cart path, waterside gazebo, and firepit area. Upon entry, you’re welcomed by a stunning open-concept design beneath soaring 16-foot ceilings, anchored by a striking stone fireplace and expansive windows that perfectly frame the breathtaking water views. The main level offers a thoughtfully designed split-bedroom floor plan, featuring two primary-style suites, each appointed with high-end ensuite baths and spacious walk-in closets. Designed to impress, the gourmet kitchen showcases beautifully crafted solid wood cabinetry, commercial-grade Thermador appliances, an oversized island, quartz countertops, an open dining area, a handcrafted iron hood, and a hidden butler’s pantry. The main level also includes a conveniently located powder room and a well-appointed laundry room just off the expansive three-car garage. The lower level continues to capture sweeping water views and is designed for both relaxation and entertaining, offering a spacious family room with wet bar and refrigerator, a theatre and game room, an additional bedroom, a children’s play nook, two flexible office spaces, ideal as fourth and fifth bedrooms, three additional bathrooms, a safe room, and a sub-basement. Notable features throughout the home include real hardwood flooring, a tankless water heater, Hardie siding, 9-foot garage doors, 12 to 16 foot ceilings, a water filtration system, custom iron cabinetry hardware and deck railings, a termite bait system, Generac generator, 2x6 framing, spray foam insulation, Superior Walls construction, leaf filtration system, professional landscaping, and a 400-amp electrical service.
