Property details
About 5784 Mcgowan Rd
Get ready to be captured by this lake home from the moment you walk in! Situated on over 100’ of level sandy lake frontage on North Long Lake, this custom-built lake home will leave you in awe. When you walk into the vaulted open living room looking towards the lake, there is a huge stone gas fireplace (you will want this on just for the ambiance). This open space will become your favorite for gatherings. Enjoy making all the things in the professionally designed kitchen - featuring Sub Zero and Wolf appliances, a double oven (you can cook twice as much), built-in wine cooler, and large bar height seating for casual dining or conversation. The main level is so well designed with a primary suite privately located on the opposite end with all amenities – a large walk-in closet, double sinks, steam shower, and a window view towards the lake. Need to do some laundry? A spacious laundry room and storage area are right when you walk in from the garage, and there is a ½ bath if you need a quick ‘break’. The upper level – you will not be disappointed with more views looking towards the lake. If you want separate sleeping spaces there are two huge bedrooms on opposite ends, both with access to the full bath. Wow - if you do have extra family/friends who are visiting, and you need more space, there is a large heated bedroom/bonus room right above the garage (or you could use it as an office - but who wants to work at the lake). Convenience – there is a ¾ bath on the main level right below this bonus room. Now for the garage – it is an oversized 1,181 square foot heated 3-car garage for all your vehicles and lake toys with a lakeside entrance for easy access to the lake. Enjoy the well-groomed yard when walking or riding down to the lake. The private boardwalk leads to a level lakeshore where you can enjoy lake activities and then come back to unwind in the hot tub. Truly a magnificent home on a 1.6-acre lakeshore lot to use as your lake home or as an investment property! Custom-built, level lot, and central location!
