A rare find, this home is built inside the exclusive, often elusive, Lakeside Acres community. The features and amenities are as impressive on the outside as they are on the inside. Every inch of this 1.34-acre estate offers a high quality and low maintenance lifestyle.Having bought and remodeled many homes, these owners knew what they were doing when they redesigned this one for long absences. Originally purchased as a second home, they considered and installed the ''must haves'' to protect their investment. But it's one of the many reasons this home became their primary residence.The owners value the longevity and low maintenance of quality, and it shows. Purchased as a home to share with family and friends, a lot of thought was placed into lifestyle and entertaining. A level, easy maintenance, large property for privacy and play, was a must have. Two separate large patios, one covered, both with multiple gas lines for heaters, fire pits, grills, etc., makes for flexible outdoor entertaining during rain, shine, or snow. But a bit of solitude around a warm, oversized, built-in firepit, with a hot cup of coco while surrounded by Ponderosa pines isn't bad either. The inside is as impressive as the outdoor living. From the moment you open the door you are greeted with the warm comforting feeling of home. Beyond the features of beauty you'll find a few hidden gems. Each space is impeccably appointed to match its potential. There is no wasted space. Nor does it feel crowded. There is more than enough storage tucked away in what was previously unused spaces; including above the garages that are accessed with pulldown ladders.What you can't feel from the pictures is that all four bedrooms are spaciously right-sized. Nor can you feel the individually controlled heated floors of all three full-sized bathrooms. They never lack hot water due to a tankless water heater and the full-sized water softener. The current owners did not skimp on anything. Aside from the expansive remodel, every needed repair is restored to fully functioning. It is either rebuilt, or replaced for perfect performance and longevity. The pictures don't do this home justice. You have to come see it to feel it. If you're looking for a home built for luxury, lifestyle, and longevity that feels like a cozy cabin in the woods, welcome home. You found it.
