HUGE Crystal Lake 7 Acre Ranch w/Pool & Hot Tub
THE SPACE
Enter through impressive double doors to the residence’s grand foyer that leads to the main level social areas. A large great room with soaring ceilings and a luxe seating area is centered around a wall of windows and glass doors that open to a 3-season room and never-ending views of the surrounding countryside.
The residence’s designer kitchen is every chef’s dream with high end appliances including a gas range, prep island, and bar seating as well as a premium housewares package for creating and serving any type of meal. Enjoy dining with family and friends right in the kitchen at the 6-person table with a view of the TV and fireplace in the family room or take a more formal approach to entertaining in the separate elegant dining room in the front of the home.
Four bedrooms are located on the main level, including the exclusive primary suite with magnificent king bed, smart TV, huge walk-in closet, private access to the 3-season room, and ensuite bath. A garden tub under a large picture window, separate walk-in steam shower, and dual vanity sinks are hallmarks of the impressive bathroom.
Bedrooms 2, 3, and 4 all have king beds with luxury linens, smart TVs, and lovely views of the surrounding property. Also on the main level is a guest powder room and completely stocked laundry room with a wine fridge.
On the estate’s ground level are bedrooms 5, and 6 (each with a king bed) and 7 that has a king bed and twin bunk bed. Additional sleeping options include a cozy full-size bed and a 2nd twin bunkbed. These bedrooms share the home’s 3rd and 4th full bathrooms.
The lower level is also home to a fantastic entertainment area with full kitchen, a bar, cozy lounge ideal for gathering to watch the big game on the smart TV next to the fireplace; and the home’s showstopper - a new outdoor hot tub that will be a favorite spot for every guest in the group.
Nearly every room in the home either overlooks or leads to the estate’s unparalleled outdoor living areas where the main attraction is an oversized inground heated pool. Surrounding the pool are several seating and sun lounge areas, a covered dining spot, and BBQ grill. Make your way across the expansive lawns to the stone firepit, a perfect place to snuggle under the stars at night. Unmatched views of expansive sky, endless fields, and roaming horses at the neighboring farm can be appreciated from every vantage point across the property. Whether coming in from out of town or just need a relaxing respite from the hustle and bustle of the city everyone will love this amazing ranch retreat.
