Don't wait for new construction when you can have a pristine, better than new, custom home with mile long water views that is available NOW! This stunning; lakeside home built in 2024 has been meticulously upgraded post-construction with a multitude of high-end upgrades. Lush landscaping lines the paver driveway, equipped with an oversized parking pad for guests and leads you to the front entry with modern impact full-glass front door. Inside the foyer you’re immediately greeted with the large lake views that are truly the star of this residence.
