Very rarely does an opportunity like this come along. Welcome to your private lakeside sanctuary, nestled on the tranquil shores of Walden Lake. This custom-built walkout ranch offers a golden opportunity to own a waterfront home in one of the area's most prestigious settings. Surrounded by larger estates and mature trees, enjoy the serenity of feeling tucked away on a quiet lake while being conveniently located near shopping, dining, schools, bike paths and parks.
Thoughtfully designed for comfortable, modern living, the open concept floor plan and expansive windows offer abundant natural light and captivating lake views from nearly every room.
The main level features a spacious primary suite with a private bathroom and generous closet space. A stunning floor-to-ceiling fieldstone fireplace anchors the expansive living room, flowing seamlessly to the bright, cheerful kitchen, dining area, and fabulous four-season sunroom; an idyllic space to soak up lake views all year long. You'll also find a convenient main-floor laundry and half bath. Downstairs, the walkout lower level includes three additional bedrooms (one currently used as an office), a large family room with another fireplace and a billiards table, full bathroom, and a handy kitchenette ideal for guests, entertaining, or multi-generational living. Custom built-ins and abundant storage throughout ensure a place for everything.
Multiple sliders lead to decks on both levels overlooking the park-like back yard. The lower deck features an outdoor kitchen, a privacy wall with television, hot tub, and plenty of additional outdoor living space for entertaining or simply relaxing by the water. While much of the home retains its original charm, there is a solid foundation and an exceptional floor plan ready for your personal touches. Combine a vacation getaway with a primary residence in a premier location with Forest Hills Schools and direct lake access. Don't miss your chance to claim this rare gem as your one of a kind waterfront oasis. All offers to be reviewed on Friday, 4/25 at 4pm.
