Pristine views across Lake Carnegie and direct access to the water make this stunning Riverside home on a full acre positively irresistible. Fortunate residents have been so enamored, in fact, that the property has changed hands only once! The current owners greatly expanded the interior to create bright, functional spaces that maximize views. Choose your favorite spot to watch birds and boats glide over the serene water: the living room’s wide window seat or a bank of windows beside the breakfast table. Invite friends to spectate as elite athletes prepare for world-class regattas. There’s room for all on the Trex deck, the stone patio below and out on the lawn, gently easing down toward the water. The home’s charming, nestled-in façade belies an airy interior with more space than imaginable, including a multi-room lower level with a game room and a fireplace. A gas fireplace provides easy ambiance in the open family room above. Updates to the kitchen over the last several years include quartz countertops, new appliances and new lighting. The nearby mudroom is more than ample and opens to an absolutely spotless garage. The private areas of the first floor can be found down a quiet corridor. A den and an office offer more lovely views and a guest suite is perfectly suited for extended stays. The upper level was carefully planned so that separate pairs of bedrooms each share a roomy bath and the primary suite is a three-room sanctuary. The primary’s skylit sitting room opens to a dressing room for two and a bath with more quartz countertops and a spa tub. There are still more secondary spaces to discover and use as you please. A superb setting, abundant space and an overall warmth that’s undeniably tasteful and timeless are a magical combination that won’t be found again!
