Contributing writer
Renovations to this tri-level home created an open floor plan on the main level, more casual living within the lower level and outside recreation space among the multi-level composite deck, docks and boat houses.
Listed for $525,000 by Coldwell Banker Heritage Realtors, the home at 4097 N. Lakeshore Drive sits on more than a half-acre property within the Shawnee Trails community in Jasper Twp. The house is along the lake shore, and the property includes a 12-by-16-foot composite dock, six-by-six-foot seawall with steps that lead into the lake, 20-by-30-foot brick boat storage with attached shed, covered boat lift and a fire pit.
A concrete driveway leads to stamped walkways, and a multi-level composite deck wraps around the back of the house.
Inside, many of the renovations have been made within the past five years, including opening up the main level into a spacious great room and kitchen area.
Formal entry opens from the front door into the great room, kitchen and dining area. Dentil crown molding complements the hand-carved hardwood floors. A bay window provides plenty of natural light within the great room and patio doors open off the dining area out to the rear decks, which have accent lighting.
The kitchen has granite countertops, a double-sink below a window, stainless-steel appliances and a large island that provides seating for three and storage. Updated light fixtures hangs above the island.
Slate tile flooring fills the lower level, which includes a family room and recreation room. Along one wall is a built-in entertainment center with pull-out cabinet shelves, granite countertop and desk space. Opposite the cabinetry is a brick gas fireplace with a raised brick hearth and wood-beam mantel. Two daylight windows are at the front of the home and patio doors open off the recreation room out to the deck.
A full bathroom with walk-in shower and tall single-sink vanity is tucked off the recreation room and bi-fold doors open to the utility room with hanging cabinets, laundry hook-ups and mechanical systems, which have been updated.
Four bedrooms and two full bathrooms are located upstairs. The main bedroom has patio doors that open to a large balcony deck with panoramic views of the lake. The private bath features a tub/shower and single-sink vanity. Two additional rooms are at the front of the house and the guest bath has a tub/shower. All three bathrooms have updated tiled flooring, vanities and fixtures.
Other updates include exterior doors and windows, siding, insulated two-car overhead door with electric opener and a sprinkler system.
