Description

Lakefront living on Lake Dartmoor with a private dock, expansive water views, and a setting designed to be experienced as much as it is enjoyed. From the moment you enter, the home opens to vaulted ceilings, a wall of windows, and natural light that draws your attention directly to the water beyond--creating an immediate connection between the interior and the landscape. The main living area centers around a fireplace flanked by built-in shelving and cabinetry, offering both function and warmth while anchoring the space. This area flows seamlessly onto an oversized deck, extending the living experience outdoors--ideal for morning coffee overlooking the lake or relaxed evenings watching the water shift with the light. The kitchen is designed for both everyday living and gathering, featuring generous workspace, abundant cabinetry, and a large central island. A walk-through pantry provides additional storage and space for a secondary refrigerator, while a separate craft or storage room with extensive cabinetry, countertop workspace, and a built-in ironing station adds a level of practicality rarely found without sacrificing usable living space. The main level includes two suites, each with private baths, offering flexibility for owners and guests alike. The primary suite features dual walk-in closets and a spacious bath complete with a jetted tub, separate shower, and natural light. A dedicated office with built-in shelving and cabinetry provides a quiet workspace, while the formal dining room is enhanced by a custom cherry built-in, detailed molding, and hidden rope lighting--well-suited for both everyday use and more formal gatherings. The lower level is thoughtfully designed for extended living or hosting, with a large bonus room featuring built-ins and a kitchenette, creating a comfortable secondary living area. Three additional bedrooms--each with direct access to the lower deck--along with a full bath and half bath provide ample space for guests. Central vacuum, a mechanical room, and additional storage, including under-stair storage, are all conveniently located within the lower level for ease of access. A separate space located just across the deck offers flexibility as an art studio, office, recreation room, or additional storage, all with views of the lake. The rear of the home includes a third bay garage, ideal for storing lake and yard equipment, supporting an active waterfront lifestyle. Follow the path to your private dock and enjoy direct access to the water, whether for boating, relaxing, or simply taking in the setting. From elevated vantage points throughout the home to the shoreline below, the property is positioned to capture both privacy and long water views--creating a setting that feels both connected and removed. Major systems, including the roof, HVAC, and tankless water heater, are approximately 8 years old. The interior and exterior, including the deck, have been recently painted and prepared for market, offering a move-in ready opportunity in one of Fairfield Glade's most sought-after lake settings. Homes like this aren't defined by a single feature--but by how they're experienced over time. From quiet mornings overlooking the water to evenings that naturally slow down, this is a setting that invites you to settle in, stay awhile, and see what lake living here truly feels like.
