A mature oak shades the front of this two-story, and the long driveway and white privacy fence set an easy tone — but the reason to come see it is out back. The lot opens onto Jacks Lake and the conservation land around it, so the view from the great room, from the primary suite, and from the upstairs windows is water and treeline instead of a neighbor's roofline. Inside, the front room reads as a study or sitting room with the staircase rising alongside it and a half bath tucked just off the entry. Past that the house opens up: a vaulted great room with a deep green accent wall, black built-ins flanking a linear fireplace, and tall black-framed windows pulling the lake inside. The kitchen anchors the back of the house with warm raised-panel cabinetry, a white center island against contrasting counters, white subway tile, a brushed gold faucet, double wall ovens, and open pipe shelving. The dining space sits beside it under a lantern chandelier, with sliders straight out to the yard. Upstairs is where it turns. The primary suite carries a tray ceiling and windows on two walls framing the water, with a bath that has dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate shower — and a walk-in closet big enough to be a room on its own. A landing overlook, the additional bedrooms, and a second full bath with dual sinks finish the floor. Lake views, mature shade, conservation behind, and minutes to Highway 50 and Highway 27. Come see it.
