It's the opportunity you've been waiting for! A chance to own this expansive lakefront property, often voted the best lot in all of Shorewood Forest. This 4-bedroom, 6-bath brick home offers fabulous curb appeal and boasts 7,640 finished square feet. It's perfectly situated on a flat, .65-acre lot in a "no wake" zone, yet only a short distance from the "fast zone" on the stunning Lake Louise. Gorgeous lake views can be seen throughout the home, with plenty of natural light. The spacious layout includes a main-floor master suite with a fireplace and upper deck access, a large walk-in closet, an amazing kitchen and dining area, a sunroom, and a fantastic office space with outdoor views. The upper level features two large bedrooms with walk-in closets and full baths, plus abundant storage space. The lower level is an entertainer's dream, with two separate recreation areas, both with walkout access, a full kitchen, a built-in hot tub, sauna, and a 4th bedroom and bath. The backyard is unrivaled, showcasing a custom sand volleyball court, beach area with docks, firepit, and room for a pool--or simply create your own "Shorewood Disneyland." Top it all off with great schools and a community where life feels like a vacation every day. LOVE WHERE YOU LIVE!
