Set within the serene beauty of Vineyard Lakes, this thoughtfully designed The Gates home offers refined lakeside living on a spacious, elevated homesite surrounded by mature oak trees and sweeping views of the 5+ acre lake. Featuring 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, a main-floor primary suite, and a dedicated study, the open-concept layout is filled with natural light and designed for both everyday comfort and effortless entertaining. The chef-inspired kitchen showcases quartz or granite countertops, 42'' cabinetry with molding, stainless steel appliances, and soft-close drawers, seamlessly flowing into the main living areas with 10-foot smooth ceilings and 8-foot doors. . Thoughtful details like oak stair treads, custom trim, and a curated selection process with the design team elevate the interior, while energy-efficient features--including a tankless water heater, Low-E windows, and a Lennox HVAC system--enhance long-term comfort. Outside, durable cement fiber siding, a welcoming front porch, and a two-car garage with keyless entry complete this elegant yet functional retreat.
