Property Description

Property is under contract with contingencies and a kick-out clause. Seller will consider backup offers. Lakefront home on the prestigious Chain of Lakes, directly on Lake Eloise, set on 1.87 acres. This three-story estate offers 6 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, and a private in-law suite on the lower level, providing exceptional privacy, generous scale, and a setting designed to embrace the lake. The primary suite is thoughtfully positioned to capture sweeping lake views and serves as a true retreat, featuring a large walk-in closet and a spa-style bath with oversized shower and jacuzzi tub. Additional living spaces flow effortlessly, anchored by a chef’s kitchen with granite countertops, cherry cabinetry, and double ovens, opening to both formal and casual gathering areas ideal for entertaining. Designed for elevated living and hosting, the home includes a private movie room for a true theater experience and a spacious game and gathering room located just off the pool, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection.
