This unique, hilltop home unfolds in a surprising two-story layout. Expansive windows on both levels showcase the panoramic lake views, bathing the open-concept living space in warm, natural light. Here, family and friends gather effortlessly in the spacious living area, sharing stories and laughter. The chef in your group will delight in the well-equipped kitchen, complete with ample counter space, double ovens, and a walk-in pantry – the perfect canvas for creating culinary masterpieces.
On this level, three inviting bedrooms await, each offering a peaceful space after a day of lakeside fun. The king suite provides a luxurious escape, while the additional king bedroom with a twin bed offers flexibility for families or groups. A third queen bedroom ensures everyone finds their perfect sleep sanctuary. An patio on this level provides a second outdoor space to soak in the surrounding beauty.
The lower level is an area for both fun and relaxation. A lively bunk room, complete with two full-over-full bunks, air hockey, an arcade game, and a flat-screen TV, guarantees endless entertainment for kids and kids-at-heart. The home’s fifth bedroom, also located on the lower level, offers a queen bed and two twins, providing additional flexibility for sleeping arrangements. This level also features direct access to the backyard and a private patio, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.
The charming guest house, tucked away from the main residence, provides an oasis of privacy. Two bedrooms, one with a king and the other with a queen and a full-over-full bunk bed, comfortably accommodate additional guests. Its own open-concept living area invites relaxation and quiet moments
Outdoors, adventure beckons. Cast a line off the private fishing pier, launch your boat from the dock for a day of lake exploration, or simply bask in the sun's warmth. As evening descends, the fire pit becomes a focal point for shared stories and roasted marshmallows under a starry Texas sky.
