Looking for a peaceful private gated lakefront property with an Elegant Colonial Home and guest house? Come relax on 2.2 acres and overlook the sprawling yard and sapphire blue Pistakee Bay. This spacious home was built with good integrity, unique qualities and has not been altered beyond recognition, yet offers modern amenities. This is a rare find with a boat garage and a private boat launch & piers ~ Truly a unique Lakefront Estate on the southernmost part of the Chain O' Lakes with incredible sunset reflecting views! Pistakee Bay is adorned with 19th century estates originally built by affluent summer dwellers. Local folklore describes residents & visitors to this area during the prohibition as Chicago Mobsters & crooked politicians. Most of these estates have been subdivided but this area has plenty of open space around the lake. When you enter the gates of this beautiful property you see the guest house on the left & beautiful sweeping lawn to 215'+ Lake Frontage. The main Colonial style home features 3 Ensuite bedrooms that view the lake and a traditional formal Living Room with fireplace framed by quarter-sawn tiger oak with an open floor plan and a whole wall of windows overlooking the lake. This is adjacent to the formal Dining Room with crown molding. The first floor private study could be made into an In-Law suite. The second floor features a Master bedroom with 2 WIC, a sitting area & whirlpool tub, the whole 3rd level is a wonderful en-suite bedroom. There is a BONUS of additional living area with an apt suite above the attached 2 car garage featuring a kitchenette, full bath & private entrance. A gardners room with sink and wall of windows attaches the garage to the main house. This lovely home sits up at 742-744 feet above sea level (according to Athena), higher then the waterfront with a gentle sloping lawn toward the water. The two garages offer tons of space to store your boat, wave runners, water skiing equipment, automobiles and other toys. The cozy 2 Bedroom ranch style guest cottage also has views of the lake & bedrm 4 & 5 on the main level. The two Nostalgic Lakefront homes have been well maintained with newer windows but they still need some work and updating. Come make this home your own or tear down and build your DREAM HOME! The Tennis courts and the circular driveway both need TLC but this is a DREAM property!!! The correct tax ID is: 1020151002. #lakefront, #dreamhome, #gated, #peaceful, #chainolakes, #lakelife
