Property Description

Occupying one of Hidden Lakes' most unique waterfront settings, this thoughtfully reimagined residence is defined by expansive greenbelt frontage, tranquil lake views, and a rare sense of privacy seldom found on the water. Inside, a dramatic interplay of volume, light, and natural materials creates an atmosphere that feels both sophisticated and inviting. Soaring ceilings draw the eye upward, while expansive windows frame the surrounding landscape and fill the home with natural light throughout the day. The living spaces unfold effortlessly, balancing grand scale with a warmth that makes the home equally suited for quiet evenings and lively gatherings. Anchoring the main level, the kitchen has been designed as both a functional workspace and a central gathering place. Custom finishes, generous preparation areas, and an open connection to the surrounding living spaces allow everyday moments and special occasions to flow seamlessly together. Beyond the interior, the home's relationship with the outdoors becomes its defining feature. An expansive waterfront terrace stretches across the rear of the residence, creating a setting that feels more akin to a private resort than a traditional backyard. Whether hosting friends beneath the evening sky or enjoying the calm of a quiet morning by the water, the experience is both effortless and unforgettable. Just beyond, a private dock extends into the lake, placing boating, paddle boarding, and sunset cruises only moments away. A highly desirable main level bedroom and full bath provide flexibility for guests, extended family, or a private office retreat. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a peaceful escape overlooking the water, complete with a fireplace, private balcony, and a sense of serenity that defines the home's overall character. Additional property features include a smart home thermostat system, Tesla solar, and a Tesla EV charging plug. Rarely does a Hidden Lakes residence bring together such a compelling combination of privacy, architectural presence, expansive outdoor living, and waterfront lifestyle. It is a home where every space has been thoughtfully designed to embrace its surroundings, creating an experience that feels both elevated and effortlessly connected to the lake.
