Bring offers! This ideal seasonal or full-time residence is not the typical home in Stoneybrook Golf And Country Club. Sophisticated homeowners beautifully updated this lakefront home, adding high quality fixtures and finishes. You will notice the improvements before you open the front door, beginning with new landscaping, exterior paint, and an attractively tiled entryway. Inside, sunlight floods in from the south, west, and east. If you have seen similar homes in Stoneybrook, you will immediately know why this one is different: a wall has been removed to provide an open floor plan that is ideal for entertaining. In this home, details make the difference, including diagonal floor tile and crown molding in the main living area, designer light fixtures, and new custom blinds and draperies. In the kitchen, stone counter tops, updated cabinets and appliances provide a contemporary look, and there is plenty of storage and work space. Both bathrooms have been updated with beautiful marble vanity tops, new cabinet doors, and designer faucets. All bedrooms feature new carpet and window treatments, with plantation shutters in the guest room. The pool and deck have been resurfaced, the cage is re-screened, and a waterfall and saltwater system have been added. Ownership includes membership in Stoneybrook Golf and Country Club, with an Arthur Hills-designed golf course, Har-Tru tennis courts, fitness center, and a beautiful clubhouse. Buyer pays a $3000 capital contribution at closing.
