A rare architectural legacy on the lake—where design, history, and nature exist in perfect harmony. This extraordinary 4BR/3BA lakefront residence in Lakeside is a true mid-century modern dream, originally designed and built by award-winning local architect Byron F. Romanowitz . This exquisite home has been cherished by only two families since its creation—offering a rare opportunity for a third to carry on its legacy. Reminiscent of the iconic deck house style, the tongue and groove ceiling, seen across both floors, is met with a breathtaking wall of north-east facing windows that fills the interior with soft natural light and ever-changing seasonal lake views. This home truly embodies the timeless mid-century principles: natural materials, clean lines, and a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. Its intentional design is further elevated with the addition of Ackerman designed wood carvings for an art lover, a mirrored wet bar and complimentary ice-maker for an entertainer, and a dedicated workshop with an attached shed for a hobbyist. This home creates a space that feels both curated and deeply livable. The main level offers 3BR/2BA's, anchored by expansive, open-concept living areas that flow effortlessly between the kitchen, dining, and living spaces—all designed to capture the water at every angle. Step out onto the private deck and experience the quiet beauty of lakeside living. The lower level, accessible by stairwell or elevator, opens into a light-filled retreat featuring a large family room, rec room, workshop, and a private primary suite complete with its own bath and a large hot tub—an intimate escape tucked into nature. Function meets inspiration with an oversized main-floor laundry room leading to the attached two-car garage, additional storage, and a dedicated art studio or office—perfect for creative pursuits or quiet work. Outdoors, enjoy a fenced patio area surrounded by mature trees and a tranquil fountain feature. Launch a kayak directly from your quiet cove or take advantage of the nearby community boat ramp—this is lake life designed for both relaxation and adventure. For lovers of architecture, art, and the natural world, this is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to become the next chapter in a home that has been intentionally preserved, deeply appreciated, and rarely available.
