Benfield Manor is a stunning 5,284-square-foot European-style home that beautifully captures the essence of lakeside living. Every inch of this residence reflects a thoughtful blend of elegance and functionality, meticulously designed to meet the vision of its homeowners.
Upon entering, you're greeted by a grand Foyer with a vaulted ceiling, adorned with intricate timber trusses that immediately set a sophisticated yet welcoming tone. The eye is drawn straight through to the vaulted Family Room, where the same majestic timbered ceiling extends, creating a harmonious flow between the indoors and the serene lake views just beyond. This seamless design continues through to the back porch, offering uninterrupted vistas of the tranquil waters. The open-concept floor plan encourages togetherness, making it the perfect setting for both intimate family gatherings and lively entertainment.
The gourmet kitchen is the heart of this home, with a spacious design that caters to both the casual cook and the culinary enthusiast. A dual-entry pantry enhances functionality, providing easy access whether you're preparing meals or unloading groceries. Just off the back hallway, a convenient drop zone helps keep daily essentials organized, while a powder room thoughtfully doubles as a pool or lake bathroom, ensuring easy access when enjoying outdoor activities.
The main-level master suite is a retreat in itself, offering unparalleled privacy and comfort. A pergola-covered patio extends just off the suite, providing a serene spot to enjoy morning coffee while taking in the lake views. The ensuite bathroom is a luxurious haven, complete with a freestanding corner tub offering panoramic views, a spacious double shower, and separate vanities for convenience and elegance. The split master closet is designed with ample storage in mind, featuring built-in drawers and abundant hanging space. Additionally, a discreet private entrance leads directly to the utility room, ensuring laundry can be managed without disturbing the tranquility of the master suite.
An additional bedroom and hall bathroom complete the main floor living spaces, while the rear covered porch offers a screened section, perfect for enjoying the outdoors year-round.
The lower level of Benfield Manor is designed with entertainment in mind. A home theater provides the perfect space for movie nights, while the game room offers ample room for billiards, puzzles, or other activities. The exercise room is an ideal space for creating a personal home gym. A downstairs kitchen ensures that hosting guests on this level is a breeze, eliminating the need to run back upstairs for refreshments. The expansive lower patio is perfect for outdoor gatherings, with an inviting fireplace to enhance those cozy lakeside evenings.
For future expansion or evolving family needs, there’s an unfinished space on the lower level offering flexibility. Additionally, a well-placed storm shelter provides peace of mind, nestled securely into the hillside to protect loved ones during severe weather, making Benfield Manor not just a beautiful home, but a safe one as well.
This exquisite 3-bedroom home is truly a masterpiece of European design and lakeside luxury, providing the perfect balance of comfort, style, and practicality.
