Condition Rating
Good

Despite being built in 1934, the property has been 'restored to perfection' and 'lovingly cared for by the Owners for over 30 years,' indicating extensive renovations and meticulous maintenance. The kitchen features high-end, professional-grade appliances (like the Viking-style range), custom cabinetry, and unique tiled countertops that, while not ultra-modern, reflect a specific 'designer flair' and are in excellent condition. The bathrooms are also well-maintained, with one showcasing a more traditional rustic style and another featuring a more updated walk-in glass shower and custom vanity. Hardwood floors are present throughout, and the overall aesthetic is consistent and high-quality. The property is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, and all major systems appear functional and well-maintained, aligning with the 'Good' condition criteria for a property extensively renovated within the last 5 to 15 years.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Premier Lakefrontage & Dock: Direct lake access with a double canopied dock in prestigious Emerald Bay, offering unparalleled water enjoyment and spectacular views from all points.
Separate Guest House: Includes a fully equipped separate guest house with living room, kitchen, and bedroom, providing significant versatility, privacy, and additional accommodation.
Exquisite Landscaping & Outdoor Living: Meticulously designed 'Lush Green Compound' featuring meandering ponds, trickling waterfalls, multiple entertaining terraces, 5 patios, and a flat recreational lawn, creating a private resort-like ambiance.
High-End Restoration & Furnished: Lovingly restored to perfection with 'High End Appointments with a Designer Flair' and offered furnished, ensuring a luxurious, move-in ready experience.
Unique Charm & Seclusion: A 'classic Lakefront Charmer' offering an intimate and private retreat experience, appealing to discerning buyers seeking character and exclusivity.

Cons

Property Age & Potential Upkeep: Built in 1934, despite restoration, an older property may entail ongoing maintenance considerations or require updates to systems not explicitly mentioned as new.
Unverified Square Footage: The stated 3,500 sq. ft. is an 'estimated' figure by the sellers, which lacks professional verification and could be a point of concern for buyers or appraisal.
Extensive Maintenance Requirements: The elaborate grounds, water features, multiple structures (main house, guest house, dock, tram), and high-end finishes suggest a significant ongoing commitment in terms of time and cost for maintenance.
