2165 Willow Lake Dr, Mishawaka, IN 46545

Situated on a wooded lakeshore, this incredible home offers commanding water views that perfectly combine with the majestic wooded private lot. Sitting on three acres of lakefront property, the home is positioned to take advantage of the views to the water, and the wooded, park-like setting. Designed by renowned architects, Buccellato Design, and built by Rans Custom Homes, the spirit of this home was conceived from the outset as having deep regional roots. The home's character and scale were thoughtfully considered and refined. Its timeless style and intentional detail, as well as its warm palette of natural materials draw inspiration from the English and American country house traditions. The home's light filled, open and flowing floor plan combines perfectly with its tasteful natural decor, offering balance and function. The well-appointed rooms are gracious, yet intimate to give form to a home as suited to entertaining as it is to quiet family evenings. The state of the art kitchen offers a large center island, ample counter space, and custom cabinetry, all complimented by a state of the art appliance suite. The impressive main room has a fantastic, beamed ceiling and an imposing stone fireplace. The library/ family gathering space sports bespoke woodwork and opens on to a lovely veranda. The private principal bedroom suite offers spectacular lake views with the river in the distance and is complemented by a large dressing room and impressive bathroom. All the bedrooms are large with a second floor conversion suite that boasts a hidden Narnia Themed play room. The walkout lower level features an impressive workout conversion space and impressive wine room. Among the home's many outstanding features is its thoughtfully planned exterior. The home's massing makes possible the creation of beautiful exterior spaces and a lovely entry court welcomes visitors. A covered porch overlooking the lake, beckons from the great room's French doors, and a grade-level terrace flows from the house to the waterfront. The home is located minutes to Notre Dame, the hospitals and area restaurants yet it's secluded setting makes it feel a world away.
