Property Description

Feel the Mid-Century Modern magic the second you arrive at this courtyard pool home, set on 1.15 acres on a dead end street with 164 feet of direct frontage on West Crooked Lake. This is one of those houses where the character isn't just 'there-it's been carefully kept and respected. A brand new roof gives you peace of mind, and the original charm remains front and center throughout.Step inside and the mid-mod details immediately make sense: a sunken living room that looks right out over the pool and lake, post-and-beam wood ceilings that continue far beyond the classic main spaces. There are 2 cozy wood-burning fireplaces in the living room and family room. With almost 4,300 sq ft under heat and air, you get 4 bedrooms and 5 baths, including the kind of layout that works well for everyday living-and even better for entertaining. Plus, each bedroom has its own en suite, so there's privacy for everyone. And don't overlook the built-in storage throughout-it's functional, and it helps keep the house feeling true to its original Matsche-style design.When you're ready to slow down, the lanai is the perfect place to enjoy the lake-especially those late-day sunsets. And if you're the type who loves a little extra story with your homes, the basements here are full of possibilities. One basement level is heated and air-conditioned with stairs from inside and also a separate entrance for serious multi-generation potential. There's also an additional finished basement with its own outside entrance and window A/C, and to top it all off... the rumored secret trap door. Could it be nothing? Sure. Could it be the start of a totally ridiculous secret speakeasy? Also sure. And because this is more than a pretty picture, the home offers over 6,650 sq ft under roof, giving you space, flexibility, and room to grow. Finish it with the convenience of a 2-car garage, and you've got a rare mid-century lakeside opportunity that doesn't come along often.
