Space abounds

Lakeside home ideal for family, entertaining

Built on the shore of Horseshoe Lake in Scott, this five-bedroom, five-and-ahalf-bath contemporary house is actually two homes in one, separated by an oversized garage/workshop. The 3.85-acre property provides plenty of space for outdoor living and entertaining, and there is a covered boat dock for added appeal.

Beneath the lofty portico, the front door is surrounded by windows. Inside is a spacious living area that is illuminated by a massive handcrafted chandelier and features a vaulted ceiling and a walk-in wet bar, as well as a chandelier-lit formal dining space. A wall of windows provides a view of the game room, which has an inground swimming pool hidden beneath a raised platform. The pool has been drained, but the space can be converted back to an indoor pool room. Just off the game room is a three-quarter bath.

The great room also has a vaulted ceiling and is open to the kitchen and family dining area. The sitting area is anchored by a fireplace and has built-in bookcases and media cabinets. The open-concept kitchen has wood cabinetry, an island, a breakfast bar that seats 10, a fold-out pantry, a built-in desk, a convection oven, a gas stove, a microwave, a dishwasher, a trash compactor and more.

The main-level master bedroom has a sitting area, a private study and three closets. The en suite bath offers a heated tile floor, a double-sink vanity, a dressing table, a jetted tub, a separate shower and a walk-in closet with builtins. Upstairs are three bedrooms, a full bath and a sitting area that has a coffee bar and overlooks the great room.

The in-law quarters include a great room, a full kitchen, a dining area, a bedroom, two full baths and a large study/hobby room that could be used as an extra bedroom.

Other amenities include a laundry room, a powder room, a storm shelter, designer window treatments, a security system and much more.
