Welcome to 2008 Homearama's Casa De Lago (Lake House), located on a quiet cul-de-sac in the highly coveted Locust Creek neighborhood. No detail was overlooked in this architectural masterpiece. Upon arrival, you're greeted by a stunning set of glass and wrought iron double doors that give way to the stately two story foyer - the perfect space for greeting guests. Your eyes are immediately drawn to the marble and wood Chantilly decorative flooring. To the right of the foyer is the spacious formal dining room, sure to impress with its coffered ceiling, custom wainscoting, sparkling chandelier, and space for eight or more. Just off of the formal dining room is the perfectly appointed oversized pantry. A granite countertop, sink, and a GE Monogram wine refrigerator make it the perfect spot for a coffee bar or mixology station located just across from the huge walk-in pantry. The kitchen is every chef's dream, boasting stainless steel GE Monogram and GE Profile appliances including a gas range/oven, dishwasher, a second oven, spectacular granite countertops, and crisp white cabinets that extend to the ceiling and provide abundant storage. Entertaining is a breeze at the large center island with bar top seating, or the eat-in area that can easily accommodate a large kitchen table. Step outside and enjoy the private screened-in porch overlooking the sprawling and serene lake. The kitchen opens up through curved archways into the two story great room with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the perfectly manicured yard and lake. Wooden shutters allow the desired amount of natural light and privacy. The double sided fireplace is the focal point of the space, allowing a sneak peek into the office as well as a visually pleasing source of heat in cooler months. The first floor office showcases the opposite side of the gas fireplace with custom marble surround, trey ceiling, decorative chandelier, and access to the uncovered section of the raised deck. The owner's suite is a true retreat from the outside world, tucked perfectly away from the entertaining focal points of the home. Tray and coffered ceiling, a gleaming chandelier, and large windows make the space inviting yet sophisticated. Double doors provide access to the spacious and luxurious owner's bathroom. Gleaming tile flooring, a large glass enclosed tile shower, a jetted tub, and two vanities with abundant storage create a spa-like ambiance. Attached is a separate toilet closet and a walk-in closet. The first floor is completed with a half bath for guests and a separate laundry room with more storage and a utility sink. The stunningly beautiful hardwood flooring continues into the stairwell to the second floor. The second floor landing overlooks the foyer as well as the great room and features a built-in desk with custom cabinetry providing an additional workspace. The bedroom just to the left of the landing features an ensuite bath and a huge walk-in closet. Just down the hall is another full bath and two more spacious bedrooms (each with their own walk-in closets). Precise attention to detail continues on the lower level. The finished basement provides a wet bar with full sized refrigerator and microwave. Stamped concrete flooring and reclaimed wood repurposed from a retired Kentucky bourbon distillery are a sentimental nod to the character and history of the Bluegrass. The family room overlooks the outdoor patio and kitchen, which has a built-in grill and seating space, providing yet another ideal spot for relaxing or entertaining. Located just off of the family room is the fifth bedroom with full bath, a secluded retreat for overnight guests. Down the hall are two sizable unfinished storage areas and the magnificent theater room. This room makes an ideal place to host movie night, the party for the big game, or the watch party for your favorite show. A zoned sound system allows for connection to a variety of devices, allowing you to enjoy to your music, television show, or movie. Added features of the home include an irrigation system for easy lawn and landscape maintenance, a circle drive, and an attached 3 car garage for parking. This home was methodically and expertly crafted and has been meticulously improved and maintained by the current owners. Neighborhood amenities include a pool, tennis courts, picnic area, playground, walking trail, and fishing pond (located at the rear of this home). The location of this home puts you just minutes from state parks and the conveniences of Anchorage and Middletown. The homeowners' association provides many great opportunities for meeting neighbors and making the most of living in this wonderful community. Schedule your showing today!
