Property Description

Some homes give you more space. This one gives you a different way to live. Tucked away along the water in the established Tamarack community, this remarkable lakefront home feels wonderfully removed from the pace of everyday life-yet the conveniences of Shiloh and O'Fallon are only minutes away. Here, mornings can begin with coffee overlooking the lake. Afternoons can be spent on the water or enjoying a round of golf. Evenings move effortlessly from dinner inside to drinks on the deck, a fire beside the lake, or a house full of friends and family with room for everyone. That balance of serenity, gathering and convenience is what makes this property special. Nearly every important living space was designed to take advantage of the setting. Step through the front door and hardwood floors lead through a home filled with large windows, beautiful millwork and seemingly constant reminders of the water just beyond them. The formal sitting room and dedicated dining room both overlook the lake, while custom built-ins, wainscoting and thoughtful architectural details give the home warmth and character. At the heart of it all is a substantial kitchen made for gathering. An oversized island anchors the space alongside custom cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless appliances, a freestanding pantry and waterfall granite backsplash. It flows naturally into the main living area, where custom built-ins and bench seating surround a striking gray-brick gas fireplace. A dedicated beverage and wine area makes entertaining even easier. Then open the doors and take the party outside. A tremendous rear deck stretches nearly the length of the home, creating an outdoor living room in its own right. Multiple bedrooms open directly onto it, and the lake becomes the backdrop whether you're hosting a crowd, grilling with family or enjoying a quiet evening with nowhere else to be. The primary suite embraces that setting with its own deck access and lake views, complemented by a private bath with separate tub and shower, dedicated vanity area and walk-in closet. Two additional main-level bedrooms offer generous storage, including a guest suite with a walk-in closet, private bath and its own access to the deck. And when the gathering gets bigger, the walkout lower level is ready for it. A second family room centered around a brick gas fireplace provides another substantial living space, while a second kitchen with stove and refrigerator, bedroom, full bath and additional bonus room create tremendous flexibility for overnight guests, extended family, recreation, working from home or simply spreading out. Walk outside from the lower level and you're at the lake. A stamped-concrete terrace, firepit area and private floating dock turn the backyard into a destination of its own-perfect for fishing, boating, swimming, entertaining or simply sitting beside the water after a long day. And despite the tucked-away feeling, you're not sacrificing convenience to get it. Shiloh and O
