Live Inside. Feel Outside. 2023 Custom Lakefront on Lake Robinson | Now $1,260,000 | Every detail of this house has been thought through, and it shows from the moment you pull in. The driveway holds six cars, where most homes struggle to fit two. A private front porch waits with its own sitting area, tucked behind a privacy wall, lit by antique-style lanterns, with double French doors opening onto it. Step through the arched wrought-iron entry doors into the great room, where nearly 20 feet of glass doors pull you straight through to the deck and the lake. Overhead, a vaulted cathedral ceiling rises on custom-designed, real-wood beams and skylights, anchored by a stone fireplace. Through an archway to your right is the kitchen, the true center of the house and a gourmet cook's dream. From here you see the great room and its fireplace on one side and, through a second archway, the dining room and the lake on the other. A custom-made, two-tiered real granite island seats ten. An industrial-size custom wood range hood clears every cooking smell. A double-oven gas range and a wall oven with a speed oven above give you convection, steam, and pizza cooking modes. Separate prep, cooking, and cutting stations leave room for four cooks at once, and a wet bar with an ionized water system and an LG Craft Ice refrigerator for round cocktail ice finish it for entertaining. Every room was designed to make you feel outside while living inside. The dining room has its own vaulted custom wood ceiling over a floor-to-ceiling glass gable overlooking the water. Motorized shades cover every window. The great room's wall of glass doors opens to a covered deck with a wood ceiling, where motorized screens drop at the push of a button for privacy and bug-free evenings. The primary suite opens to its own private lake-view deck, with a spa bath whose tile floors flow into a spa-style walk-in shower with a pebble floor, and a custom closet that connects directly to the laundry room. A second bedroom suite completes the main level. The walkout lower level lives like a second home: a full kitchen with a pass-through bar window to the lakeside patio, a living area framed by water views, two bedrooms that slide open to the swim spa deck, a lounge opening to the lawn, and a third bedroom or library office with a Jack-and-Jill bath. Both full baths open straight to the outside, so swimmers come in from the lake or the spa without walking through the house. A climate-controlled gear room sits behind rustic double doors, and an under-deck drainage system keeps the patio dry in the rain. Outside, a clear, unobstructed sightline runs from the house to the water. A walkway circles the entire home: brick steps lead down the side beneath an arch and a pergola to the lakeside patios, so you can reach the water without ever stepping inside. A spiral staircase connects the upper deck to the lower patios. The 21-foot dual-zone swim spa pairs a heated five-person hot tub with a swim and exercise side, each set to its own temperature. Terraced stone walls step down to two entertaining terraces, upper and lower, made for lounging, gathering, and long evenings around the fire pit, and a winding stone path carries you from the upper yard to your private dock. The lake is quiet water made for kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing, and lakefront owners can swim. The 3-bay garage under a skylit vaulted ceiling has a fourth drive-through door to the lake walkway. Built to last, and to live in for a lifetime. This house was designed with accessibility in mind. The kitchen cabinets are built to be reached from a wheelchair, every doorway is at least 36 inches wide, and the stairway to the lower level is extra wide, built to fit a stair lift with room left to walk down beside it, should one ever be needed. Quiet and comfortable by design: sound-insulated walls and floors, a fully insulated garage, plus a tankless water heater, in gated Stillwaters with a pool, clubhouse, and trails.
