With 4 bedrooms, 5 full baths, two kitchens, multiple living areas, and a 4-car garage, there's room for family, guests, and all the toys that come with enjoying Chautauqua Lake year-round. The great room is the center of the home, with soaring ceilings, a stone fireplace, and a wall of windows overlooking the lake. Doors open to the expansive lakeside deck, perfect for dining, entertaining, and enjoying the view. The kitchen is made for gathering, with an oversized breakfast bar with plenty of seating, extensive cabinetry and counter space, newer appliances, and an open connection to the dining area and great room.
