Description

Set along the shores of Kootenay Lake, this beautifully maintained waterfront home offers privacy, refined comfort, and an extraordinary connection to the water. The moment you cross the threshold, your gaze is effortlessly drawn toward the expanse of the lake offering a constantly changing backdrop. The sun-drenched main level features a spacious great room with soaring vaulted, exposed post-and-beam ceilings, anchored by a cozy gas fireplace, generous windows, and sliding doors that open out to an expansive deck. Designed for effortless living, the kitchen seamlessly overlooks the living and dining areas, while the primary bedroom serves as a serene sanctuary complete with direct deck access, a large walk-in closet, and an inviting ensuite. A generous den/office area completes the main floor. Downstairs, the lower level has two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom, along with the extraordinary bonus of a self-contained one-bedroom guest suite featuring a full bathroom plumbed for laundry—a private haven for visiting guests. Outside, life unfolds across multiple entertaining areas overlooking soft sandy beach frontage, raised garden beds, lush perennial landscaping, nurtured by underground sprinklers. A historic boathouse and older dock rest just steps from the house, lending to effortless aquatic access. Complete with a double garage and a spacious workshop below, this peaceful lakefront retreat offers a truly special lifestyle defined by elegance and timeless serenity. (id:63159)
