The master bedroom has 2 walk-in closets and the master bath features a granite counter, double sinks, a walk-in shower and and a whirlpool tub. The gally style, eat-in-kitchen, looks out over the back deck and lake---where dolphins, heron and osprey are frequently on display. There is a second stairway leading down to the family room and kitchen and there are seperate living and family rooms. The family room, with gas fireplace, is newly tiled and has a soaring ceiling and open glass views to the waterfront and sunsets.
