This is the perfect house. It is on a quiet residential street where homes are spaced far apart and off of which there are cul-de-sacs with homes on the lake. 2225 sits on one acre of forest across from the large lake and has a lake view. The house faces west. The large vaulted open plan main room has two skylights and two screened glass doors for morning light from the east and two dormers for afternoon light from the West. A stone fireplace sits between the two glass doors which open to a large deck.

A large gourmet kitchen with two dishwashers and two ovens is part of the open floor plan.

The main bedroom with bath, jacuzzi tub, separate shower and walk-in closet is on the north side of the house and opens to the deck. Another main floor bedroom is on the south side with full bath that also opens on the hall and serves as well for use by guests on social occasions. On the west side of this bedroom is a rock pool and fountain providing the music of a bubbling creek running over rocks.

The two upstairs halls leading to the bedrooms are wide, and off the hall to the master bedroom is a room with washer and dryer.

Downstairs is another bedroom with full bath, walk-in closet and library which opens to a screened porch and a green forest wonderland with steps to the outside. An oversized two car garage offers entry into the library and the downstairs storage room.
