One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. East Lake Weir Hamptons-style farmhouse is a refuge to relax all year round and embrace the ever changing and stunning hues of lake front living. This 5 bedroom, 4.5 bath home is positioned high above the waters edge overlooking popular Lake Weir. This 2015 home pays homage throughout to the original 1910 cottage it replaced and is juxtaposition to the exclusive Lake Weir Yacht Club, formed in 1909. You know you have arrived someplace special, a respite, as you enter through the moss draped live oaks and post lit gated entry, follow the gravel drive circling to a beautiful grey facade two story home, with matching storage shed. Charm, warmth and character are blended with modern touches as you enter the home to the great room with soaring ceiling, cozy wood burning fireplace and warm wood flooring. The open concept living, dining and kitchen offer calming lake views and sun bathed mornings with two sets of French doors that seamlessly open to a comfortable and relaxing large screened porch, offering an outdoor kitchen, dining and living area. Ceiling fans throughout the home and porch thoughtfully circulate fresh water breezes throughout the home. The cooks kitchen features a beautiful brick backsplash, six burner gas stove, pot filler, shaker style cabinetry with bin pull hardware, an abundance of drawers and storage, granite countertops, wet bar and an expansive butcher block island for family and friends to gather. The downstairs primary suite features lovely lake views with French doors opening to screened porch, walk-in closet and en-suite. The Primary ensuite blends old and new with slate colored floor tile, claw foot soaking tub, bead-board wainscoting, marble double vanity, medicine cabinets, walk-in shower and trendy wall paper accents. A secondary guest bedroom with en-suite, powder bath and large laundry room complete the downstairs living. Upstairs features additional bonus space in the loft for guests to relax and enjoy the lovely lake views, three generous guest bedrooms, one with a full en-suite bathroom and two guest bedrooms sharing a full Jack and Jill bathroom. The refreshing saltwater pool sits high above the lake and is accessed with ease, next to the house. Take the stairs as the property rolls down to approximately 80 feet of shoreline. Lakeside there is a secondary storage building for water toy storage, a concrete patio for enjoying waters edge and a dock with two jet ski lifts.
