Enjoy the splendor of this close in lakefront four-bedroom home located on over 9 truly picturesque acres in Hanover County (2.29 acres with the house plus an additional 6.84 acre buildable lot). With spectacular lake views on three sides there are very few homes in Central Virginia offering the combination of privacy and such spectacular vistas. The home features one level living with over 4600 square feet of total finished space. Spectacular views of the lake are offered from almost every room as the home is located on a private peninsula surrounded by water on three sides. The main level boasts an open floor plan with hardwood floors, a gourmet kitchen, dining room and a huge family room that runs across the back of the home facing the 80 +/- acre lake. The generous owner's suite features a fireplace, access to the rear deck, wonderfully renovated glamour bathroom and a walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms and a laundry room with cabinets and utility sink round out the first floor. The basement, which doesn’t really feel like a basement, features high ceilings, a huge great room with a fireplace and a half bath, and an 11 x 22 utility room, a 28 x 27 two car garage and a huge 47 x 25 unfinished area currently used as a home gym and storage area. The rear deck, slate patio with an outdoor shower and a 16 x 16 synthetic dock are amenities that will make you feel like you’re on vacation even though you’re at home.
