Some homes have a warmth you feel the moment you walk through the door. Built just four years ago, this three bedroom lakefront home has the character of a much older home, with handcrafted details and reclaimed wood that bring a little history into every room. White oak from a West Virginia barn found new life in the floors, trim, kitchen cabinets, the kitchen island and the front and interior doors. Each piece contributes to the warmth and character that make this home feel so personal. Designed for one level living, the open floor plan and vaulted ceilings provide plenty of room to gather. The large kitchen island is a natural spot for conversation while meals are prepared, and the walnut ceiling above the dining table gives shared meals a beautiful setting. Walnut shiplap above the stone fireplace and Virginia Heart Pine ceilings and walls add rich texture throughout. In the third bedroom, currently decorated as an office, original shiplap from an early 1900s warehouse in Selma, Alabama brings another chapter of history into the home. A generous walk-in pantry and walk-in closets add everyday convenience, while 2x6 construction and an exterior of Hemlock harvested from western Pennsylvania reflect the care behind its construction. That same warmth extends outdoors, where spacious decks invite shared meals and unhurried afternoons overlooking the lake. On cooler evenings, the porch's wood burning fireplace offers a favorite place to settle in and enjoy the long water views. The gentle lot makes getting to the water easy, and a new dock is currently under construction. With Smith Mountain close by, this is a setting for those who love fishing, time outdoors and having room to roam. Even the storage shed has rustic character, with space for fishing gear, outdoor equipment or a workshop for your favorite hobbies. The three included lots offer acreage and more than 300 feet of waterfront, with additional lots available for greater privacy, a family compound or future resale. The detached garage's two bedroom apartment offers an opportunity to renovate to suit your needs, whether as a separate place for extended family, guest accommodations or a source of additional income. Whether it becomes your full time home, a retreat to share with family and friends or a potential short term rental, this is a special property with craftsmanship you can see and warmth you can feel.
