Property Description
A rare opportunity to live on Lake Serene - Welcome to your private lakefront retreat on Lake Serene, where lake-life meets timeless craftsmanship. Tucked among the trees on one of Frederick County's most sought after private lakes, this beautifully renovated waterfront home offers the perfect balance of luxury, recreation and everyday comfort. Completely transformed in 2016 with a 2-story addition and thoughtful modern updates throughout, the home features a stunning custom Chefs Kitchen with rich cherry cabinetry, elegant soapstone countertops, KitchenAid gas range and Viking range hood. The spacious main level offers bright rooms bathed in natural light, gleaming hardwood flooring all showcased with fresh neutral paint and bright white trim. This floorplan flows from room to room offering space for large gatherings while feeling intimate and private. The kitchen overlooks the beautiful family room with gorgeous windows and waterfront views. This is the perfect spot for movie night or watching the game. From here the floor plan flows to spacious dining room and living room with fireplace. Step out onto the Trex Deck which overlooks the lake. Enjoy the view with your morning coffee or evening cocktail. This is the place to be. Upstairs offers 3 bedrooms including the Primary Suite which has been completely updated with beautiful spa-inspired bath. With lake views, the primary suite offers privacy and generous closet space. The two additional bedrooms have a view of the pool and share a gorgeously remodeled hall bath.
