Walking around 1305 Lake Shore, you'll find fenced-in gardens, which give it an East Coast Cape look. There are large perennial plantings all around the yard which are very easy to maintain.

Built-in lockers for the kids would be great here- or maybe an extra refrigerator or freezer could go here. Next is the very spacious main floor laundry room (15'x14') There is an abundance of countertops and cabinets, including a lowered computer desk area. With the natural light of a skylight, the possibilities are endless. Exit here to the outside gardens where Mother Nature wraps her arms around you within a fenced area.

There is an Open Concept to the large adjacent living room area (19x18) with majestic brick fireplace with gas insert. Enjoy the panoramic water view and the open park across the street. This room is large enough so that the baby grand piano it currently houses looks lost. Continue through to the kitchen with cherry cabinets and the exterior brick accents which have been brought inside. You will find recessed lighting, and a very large pantry which friends refer to as the "711"! There is a ceramic tile backsplash and an additional built-in oven plus regular appliances. You can look through a large glassless window to the Solarium, providing a nature view from every room. You can even feel the heat from the indoor wood fire pit when in use. The most beautiful hardwood oak floors adorn the kitchen for quality and character. The expansive year-round Solarium (40x14) where 36 feet of glass provides a wonderful source of passive solar heat, all winter long. There are ceramic tile floors, three skylights, two ceiling fans, recessed lighting, and three very large sliding glass doors to open the room to the gardens outside -perfect for entertaining. The brick accent wall brings a natural feel to the room along with indoor wood fire pit as the center of attraction complete with stove pipe properly vented to the outside. Looking to keep it cool in the summer. The room darkening and insulating shades will do the trick. From the front door of the home, enter the large welcoming foyer. Continue to the living room or to the guest suite (15x12). This guest suite (or "mother-in-law" suite) has a large walk-in closet and its own private full bath. From here you may continue to the kitchen and on to the solarium or to the Master Bedroom Suite. The master suite (20x13) has cherry-stained crown molding.

You will find neutral and durable Berber carpeting. There is a lighted spacious landing area at the bottom of the stairs, a foyer of sorts. Bedroom #3 (11 x 20) is tastefully decorated in a neutral color with knotty pine wainscoting. Bedroom #4 (15x13) is another good-sized bedroom. This home provides all the room you need for your large family or guests. Also on the lower level is a 10x15 office/homework/craft room (or it could be a fifth bedroom.)
