FIRST TIME ON THE MARKET! Lovingly held by the same family since 1984, this custom built home offers privacy, character, VIEWS of Mont du lac and an incredible connection to the outdoors on 10 gorgeous acres! The TWO STORY FIREPLACE creates a dramatic centerpiece for the great room, the Old Chicago style bricks were locally sourced and used throughout the home. The kitchen features an island, wall oven, induction stove, desk and gorgeous brick detail. The LARGE SUNROOM provides a peaceful place to enjoy the changing seasons, entertain or workout. The spacious primary bedroom suite is a PRIVATE RETREAT with views, a window seat, a walk in closet and an on-suite bathroom with dual sinks. There are two more bedrooms on the upper level as well- one that features a stained glass window made by a local artist and one that has its own bathroom. Don't miss the spiral staircase to the most special feature - a LOOKOUT LIBRARY, where you'll find TREETOP VIEWS OF MONT DU LAC! It's an inspiring space for reading, working, relaxing, or simply taking in the scenery. There is a two car attached garage, a heated workshop, and a shed large enough for a car. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the property's PROXIMITY TO RECREATION, with close access to the Magney-Snively trail, Spirit Mountain Recreation, and many hiking and biking trails nearby - or make your own trails right out your backdoor! The grounds also feature remnants of beautiful tiered gardens & ponds-just waiting to be brought back to life. You will also enjoy multilevel decks, a balcony, and a charming front porch. This is more than a home; it's a rare opportunity to reimagine a one-of-a-kind property in an extraordinary natural setting and to create something truly remarkable.
