The timber frame construction gives a warm reception and invites you to take a rest in the main living area of the home and take in the lake view. The Crossfire constructed fireplace in the living room helps to heat the home in the winter. The energy from the fire is absorbed by the stone and radiated back into the home for hours after the fire is out. While we are talking about energy, the 50 gallon hot water heater is ran by a heat pump which also cools the lower garage. The main floor features the living room, kitchen, dining, master quarters, oversized laundry room, and lake views. The living room has an abundance of natural light and is a great place for entertaining or just relaxing.
