“The strength of a nation derives from the integrity of the home”   -------    Confucius

This may be the most perfectly restored home directly on the lake of Malibou Lake.  Why?  Attention to detail. Of course, the natural beauty of the area is already evident: a dozen mature trees, including sycamore, oaks, plum, and apple………but the owner didn’t just rely on that.  Lush landscaping, flowers, and plants are interspersed with boulders and rocks mimicking the beauty of Sugarloaf Mountain, which greets visitors when they enter the front door.

This is a sprawling, sun-filled house, with pitched, beamed ceilings, open floor plan, skylights, hardwood floors, and lakefront views from almost every room.  Massive new windows and accordion doors merge the kitchen, dining and living area with the outside decks. 

The kitchen has a commercial, six-burner stove, stainless-steel, farmhouse sink, and refrigerator.   Adjoining is a pantry, laundry room, and half bath.  The stone, wood-burning fireplace hints at the flavor of old-time Malibou, while every modern amenity assures “easy living.”

Many homes advertise master suites, which doesn’t do this area justice.  Instead, let’s call it the Sugarloaf Mountain retreat, and once you enter, you may not leave.  The sitting room, with window seat, is inviting, but don’t stop there.  Past the French doors is a huge bedroom facing the mountain, another deck, large walk-in closet, and the piece de resistance: a bathroom with radiant-heated floors, marble & tiled tub and steam shower, plus two gorgeous porcelain sinks.

Two other bedrooms with a shared bath complete the north end of the home. 

Outside, the decks are as big as the house, and the details for gracious Malibou living are evident everywhere:  a charming, outdoor shower; a 2nd floor deck with a massive oak acting as an umbrella, iron lanterns hanging from the branches.  Over 100 feet of lake-front gives opportunities for summer parties, family memories, and treasured privacy. 

This home is a prize, redone with integrity and care, respecting the grace of historical Malibou Lake.
