Lake Home For Sale

C: , jon, : Elevated and enraptured. Remember when Dorothy opened the door and walked into the Land of Oz? You'll relate as you open this front door and journey into this storybook lakefront stunner. Loaded with natural light, this delectable and massively upgraded home is perched perfectly above one of the most beautiful lakes in the area on, what had to be, the developer's trophy lot. You'll instantly recognize the terrific attention to detail, vast array of top-quality upgrades and generous use of glass which magnifies the sunny and lush back yard paradise this home offers. You'll instantly be compelled to walk straight through the home and onto the sweeping multi-tiered back deck, standing transfixed by the very special sights, smells and sounds that come only with lakefront living. Drop down the path an onto your private dock and you'll envision the hours of water adventures which will launch from this very place. Loons singing in the quiet twilight hours. Ice skating on the lake during snowy winter days. Entertaining friends and family or celebrating coffee or a glass of wine as you're gearing up or winding down. The home is exquisite; the setting is spellbinding. You'll see!Centrally located with paved roads to your driveway, you'll be a couple of miles to the highway, a short distance to the recreation center or a brief drive into 2.8M acres of National Forest and Wilderness acre public space which encircles our community.This home underwent a major remodel in 2011. From the street, the home is charming with tall trees, a manicured lawn and unassuming single-level look. Once inside, be ready for enchantment. With an open concept floor plan, towering ceilings, upper catwalk punctuated by 18 foot tall, floor to ceiling glass across the back of the home, chef's kitchen, large living room with fireplace and a glass enclosed sunroom which you'll want to retreat to when the weather isn't cooperating. Upstairs hosts a beautiful guest room with full bath and then a wonderfully spacious master bedroom with private bath, large walk-in closet and fireplace. A few steps down from the kitchen is yet another very private bedroom with access onto the back deck (and hot tub) and a luxurious private bath and huge walk-in closet. The laundry room is conveniently located between the kitchen and this guest suite. One could also utilize this bedroom as a master if so desired. Now, you'll really need to slow your pace and pay close attention to the array of very unique upgrades and features throughout the home as you walk from room to room. The home feels *tight and right.* Survey the craftsmanship detail of the exposed beams and framing of the home, the quality electrical and plumbing upgrades, the use of alder wood in the doors and chunky trim, highly upgraded flooring materials and carpeting, live edge granite countertops, pro-series appliances, custom wood and glass cabinetry, metal handrails, custom tile and simple attention to detail employed to make this home sing. Back outside of the home is a really fun potting/storage shed, loads of beautifully mature landscaping, lush grass, front and back, with a gentle slope down to Pagosa Lake, resting along the back of the lot. One final point to consider is the absolute rarity of lakefront listings in our market at this time. We consider live water and lakefront offerings to be blue-chip opportunities and, unless you've ever enjoyed a residence on a lake, you may not fully grasp how very special they are. This lot has a wonderful south-western orientation, which invites about 300 days of glorious sunshine into your life. OK, see the Addendum for more details about the compelling upgrades and features of this home and, for goodness' sake, make plans to get inside of this home at your very first opportunity. My words fall short; this is truly a *must experience* home and setting. We'll hope to see you
