Welcome to Viewpoint -an architectural masterpiece blending classic Nantucket shingle-style elegance with unparalleled privacy on a bucolic 24 gated acres. Approached via a sweeping drive and a grand porte-cochere, this spectacular 14,000+ sq. ft. estate spans four extraordinary levels, offering breathtaking lake views and private trail access directly to the water. Inside, impeccable craftsmanship defines every room, showcased by exquisite millwork, bespoke trim, and a seamless flow between the formal living and dining rooms. The main level is designed for both grand entertaining and daily life, featuring a handsome billiards room, and a chef's kitchen equipped with top-tier appliances and a comprehensive butler's pantry. An elevator seamlessly services the first, second, and lower levels. There is a family room that can function as a living/dining room for more casual living. There is a large mudroom, complete with a half bath and sub-zero fridge. The attached 4 car garage is also heated, features central vac, lighting and can hold up to 5 cars. There is a large coat closet for entertaining large groups, as well as a larger formal half bath. Upstairs, retire to the expansive primary suite-a true sanctuary featuring a lavish en-suite bath, a dedicated dressing room, and a massive walk-in closet. The second floor continues to impress with beautifully appointed secondary bedrooms and an oversized bonus room/library that opens into an expansive studio situated above the garage. Ascend to the walk-up attic to find a heated, partially finished top level ready for your imagination - au-pair, in-law, teen getaway, or staff quarters. The fully finished, walk-out lower level serves as the ultimate retreat. It boasts a sprawling family room, a custom wet bar (complete with beverage fridge and drawer dishwasher), space for a future gym, a large workshop area, and a private guest suite complete with closet and full bath that can effortlessly serve as a 6th bedroom. Multiple storage rooms make seasonal decor storage a cinch. State-of-the-art technology and advanced mechanicals ensure effortless, modern living: a Lutron Homeworks system throughout, Sonos whole-home audio, cameras, full security, a fresh air system, and 7 zones of radiant heat and central air. "Viewpoint" is more than a home, it is a legacy estate.
