Lakeside abode
Stunning custom home has in-law quarters, more
Built on the shore of Hurricane Lake in Benton, this custom five-bedroom, five-bath home offers an appealing blend of rustic style and luxurious comfort. The spacious backyard is surrounded by iron fencing, and the property has a private boat dock.
Maple wood floors begin in the entryway and continue throughout the main level, except for the tiled laundry and bathrooms. Open to the entry, both the great room and formal dining room feature wood-beamed ceilings. The great room centers around a floor-to-ceiling rock fireplace and has a built-in bookcase.
The chef’s-quality kitchen is fitted with painted cabinetry, a breakfast bar, an island, granite counters, tile backsplashes, a pantry and stainless-steel appliances — a double convection oven, a gas cooktop, a dishwasher and more. The breakfast area opens to the back porch, which features a built-in grilling kitchen.
Positioned apart for privacy, the master bedroom overlooks the lake and has private access to the back porch. The adjoining bath has his-and-hers granite-topped vanities, a private water closet, a freestanding soaking tub and a dual-spray shower. The walk-in closet features built-in bureaus and opens to the laundry room. On the other side of the home are two bedrooms that are linked by a Jack-and-Jill bath. French doors open from the entryway to the guest bedroom, which has a private bath with a granite-topped vanity and a walk-in shower. The in-law quarters features a private entrance with a porch, a living area, a kitchenette, a bedroom and a bathroom with a walk-in shower.
The home’s upper level offers an oversized living area and a full bath; the space is perfect for use as a game room or teen quarters. Other amenities of the home include a security system, built-ins, window treatments, a two-car side-entry garage, a sprinkler system and more.
