It simply does not get better than this turnkey furnished Tideland model in Waterside's Lakehouse Cove. This pristine home features all of the upgrades of a model and more, all situated on a gracious lakefront lot with a stunning & unparalleled water view right from the front door. You'll be wowed from the moment you walk in by the infinity pool and spectacular view of the expansive lake beyond. One of the most notable upgrades is that the home was raised to allow for the most dramatic view and a seamless visual connection between the pool and water, with panoramic screens for maximal enjoyment. Inside, LED-lit tray ceilings & crown molding, plus modern designer light fixtures, furnishings, and decor throughout complete this perfect picture. The great room is a showstopper with custom built-ins & architectural detailing surrounding an electric fireplace that sets the tone for the level of elegance throughout the home. Functionality meets design in the chef's kitchen with an abundance of solid wood cabinetry, designer hardware, large central island, quartz counters, extra-large farmhouse sink, under cabinet LED lighting, subway tile backsplash, walk-in pantry, and butler pantry.
