Welcome to an exceptional Jackson Lake waterfront home, offering over 3,400 square feet, six bedrooms, and 3&1/2 baths in one of the lake's most desirable locations. Situated on a gorgeous park-like lot with lush Zoysia grass and a nearly level walk to the water, this property offers the perfect combination of comfortable lake living, beautiful outdoor spaces, and incredible views. Inside, the renovation brings a fresh, updated feel throughout. The home features new kitchen cabinets, granite countertops, and Pella sliding glass doors that showcase the lake views and provide an easy transition to the outdoor living areas. A dramatic two-story great room creates an impressive gathering space, while two master suites on the main level make the floor plan especially convenient. Upstairs are four additional bedrooms, providing plenty of room for family and guests. A huge laundry room adds even more functionality. The lakeside of the home is designed for entertaining and relaxing, with an outdoor kitchen, outdoor masonry fireplace, and hot tub overlooking the water. The level yard makes it easy to enjoy everything the waterfront has to offer. At the shoreline, you'll find a seawall, covered boat dock, and boat slip, all situated on deep water with unbelievable views. Totally renovated, beautifully maintained, and located in one of Jackson Lake's premier settings, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy a spacious lake home with a level waterfront lot, deep water, outstanding outdoor living, and a setting that truly feels like your own private retreat.
