A lush wooded setting frames this large, comfortable brick-and-stone lakeside home in prestigious Gleannloch Farms.
The stately facade viewed from street level illustrates an array of fine architectural details: intricate masonry work, sharply peaked gables, graceful arches, rustic shutters, and a variety of glistening windows. 
Glowing from within at twilight, the home epitomizes grace and elegance. Notice the wide driveway, providing ample off-street parking for guests. The portico sheltering the double garage doors is a welcome feature. 
And by day, we see the branches of the mature shade trees literally following the lines of the house. The roof was replaced in 2015 and all the exterior trim was repainted in 2020. The entire house was treated for "critter protection" in 2020. 
A long, wide walkway flanked by hedges leads to the regal front entryway of this handsome home. 
A second walkway traverses the front lawn to connect the entryway to the driveway. 
Open the leaded-glass and mahogany front door into the palatial foyer, where the eye falls immediately upon the grand curving staircase. To the left through French doors is the study or formal living room; to the right, the formal dining room; straight ahead, the family room. Glistening hardwoods fill the spaces with warmth.
From inside the foyer, we see the abundance of natural light afforded by the glass front door with sidelights and transom. The formal dining room accommodates large furnishings and has a triple-window view of the front lawn. 
Another view of the generously sized formal dining room, with heavy crown moulding and block-paneled wainscot. The archway to the far left leads into the kitchen. 
The formal living room, to the left through French doors as you enter the home, features high ceilings, crown moulding, and a trio of windows to the front lawn. Used by the current owners as a music room, this could also serve as a study, library, or home office. 
The focal point of the foyer, this grand, curving staircase with carpeted treads, wooden rails, and wrought-iron banisters leads to the second floor landing that overlooks the foyer and the family room. Ahead and through the archway is the spacious family room.
The heart of this home, the family room draws us in with its wall of windows viewing the park-like backyard and the lake. It features a cozy fireplace, plush carpeting, high ceilings, a continuation of the arch motif, and direct access to the kitchen and breakfast room. 
Looking from the breakfast room, we see the fireplace wall, with arched built-ins on either side and an arched art niche above. The archway to the left leads into the primary suite; the balcony above leads to secondary bedrooms. 
From this angle, we see how this room serves beautifully for comfortable daily living as well as easy entertaining. The arched bar looks directly into the kitchen, so the chef never misses a thing!
From the upstairs landing looking down into the family room, showing its proximity to the kitchen and breakfast room--and oh, those views! 
This is your very large breakfast room, with a triple-bay view of the backyard and lake, rich slate floors, a door to the covered porch, and a built-in desk. Through the archway in the background is a flexible space that could be a sitting room, play room, another living area, or what ever you need it to be. 
Just look at the size of this area! The breakfast room is large enough to accommodate practically any size of table and chairs with plenty of space to maneuver; the flex room to the side, furnished here as a study, has two window walls and avails itself to a variety of possible uses. 
The lovely kitchen carries the same slate flooring, rich wood cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances, a convenient central island, and a bi-level bar with sink to serve the family room. 
Another view of the wonderful flex room off the breakfast room. Just imagine how you might make use of this bonus space! 
From inside the flex room, we have a glimpse of that stunning view, and we see the flow of this portion of the house, looking into the breakfast room and on through to the family room. 
From the upstairs landing, we look down into the foyer, awash with natural light shining on the beautiful hardwood floors. Art niches and display areas abound for showing off your treasures. 
Just off the upstairs landing is another flexible space, used here as another work-study area. A large arched opening overlooks the foyer below. 
And here on the second floor, we find this huge game room, media room, play room, or yet another living area with interesting ceiling lines and a mammoth triple-window view of the lake! 
Another view of the game room. So many possibilities here! 
First of the secondary bedrooms, all of which feature plush carpeting, ceiling fans, large closets, and adjacent bathrooms. 
A secondary bathroom upstairs, conveniently compartmented for simultaneous use by more than one person. 
The vanity portion of the shared bathroom flows directly into the bedroom.
This secondary bedroom features built-in shelving and a functioning window seat with storage, plus windows on two sides for lovely views of the heavily wooded property.
Another view of this secondary bedroom. 
The third secondary bedroom on the second floor. All are spacious enough to accommodate a sitting area. 
The second of two full bathrooms upstairs. 
The primary bedroom, located in the rear corner of the first floor, is quite large and features a triple window overlooking the backyard and lake, another window to the side yard, and a tray ceiling. Your personal retreat! 
Another view of the primary bedroom, with a look through double doors into the bathroom. 
Just look how easily these large furniture pieces fit in the primary bedroom--and there's room left over!
The primary bath, remodeled in 2021, looks like a Parisian spa! Stunning marble, interesting wall treatment, freestanding tub, separate shower, rich wood cabinetry, and a large arched privacy window for natural light.
Just look at the size of that walk-in shower! And that unique barn-door treatment with full-length mirror! An EarthSmarte whole-house hard water system was installed in 2019. 
And here it is: Your own personal park. This stunning back yard is the piece de resistance of this property. 
From within the verdant gardens looking at the rear facade. Simply beautiful, and so serene! 
A perfect place for a swing! The rear view of this house is just as lovely as the front. 
All those windows take advantage of the wonderful views and bring them inside to enhance the beauty of this home. 
Rear view of the home at twilight. Just imagine yourself living here!
And just beyond your personal park is this! Not another house in sight; just the sheer beauty of nature. 
Now is this lovely or what?! A fisherman's view of the large, comfortable home across its park-like backyard.
More of the beautiful lake as seen from your backyard. 
Come have a seat with your favorite person and your favorite beverage and just take it all in! 
The covered porch leads directly onto the stone patio, as the walkway meanders through the side yard. What a fine place for outdoor living and entertaining!
The side yard to the right of the garage leading to the patio and backyard. As you can see, there's plenty of space here for grilling, gardening, sitting, or you name it! The wooden fence was installed in 2016.
A view of the backyard and lake from the patio. You might want to never leave this spot! 
Clear, pristine, inspiring. This is your view, any time you want to have it.
