This impeccably designed lakefront home offers a rare opportunity to own one of the most beautifully positioned properties directly on the water in Lake Hills. With 142 feet of direct frontage (deeded water rights) and tranquil water views from nearly every room. Built in 2011 with energy-efficient geothermal heating and cooling, this home seamlessly blends modern comfort, natural beauty, and timeless style. The main level offers 2,700 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, including a serene primary suite overlooking the sparkling lake-an inspiring way to begin each day. A chef's kitchen with custom cabinetry and center island opens to the family room, ideal for entertaining with panoramic water views. The living room features a vaulted ceiling, fireplace, and walls of windows that flood the space with natural light. A formal dining room flows off the kitchen, while upstairs offers three sun-filled bedrooms and a flexible bonus room. Step outside to a multi-tiered Trex deck with built-in hot tub and sweeping lake views. Automatic retractable awnings and smart-sensor sunshades provide effortless comfort year-round. Mature landscaping and a lush vegetable garden add to the appeal. Whether you're soaking in the tub, launching a kayak from your private dock, or watching egrets skim the water, this is lakeside living at its finest. This home is built to FEMA compliancy. There is a big storage area under the house though!
