Description

158 Lake Bowen Drive presents a rare opportunity to own a custom built lakefront estate with breathtaking sunset views and private dock access on Lake Bowen. This five bedroom, four and one half bath Cape Cod style home was thoughtfully designed to maximize water views while providing comfortable living across three spacious levels, making it ideal for everyday living, entertaining, or multigenerational living. Enjoy year round lake access from the private dock, recently replaced and built to the largest size permitted on the lake. The dock includes GFI power outlets, seating for eight, and a lighted ramp. Positioned in a quiet cove with minimal boat traffic, the property offers peaceful surroundings, exceptional fishing, and some of the most beautiful sunsets on Lake Bowen. The public boat landing and park are located just minutes away. Inspired by Southern Living’s Crabapple Cottage and enhanced by a local architect, the home was designed to capture lake views and natural light throughout. Construction includes Structurally Insulated Panels for superior energy efficiency, triple pane thermal windows, custom spray coated sheetrock, Superior Walls on the front and side basement walls, and a 50 year Owens Corning mildew resistant architectural shingle roof. Inside, the main living areas feature recently added wide plank hickory hardwood floors. The living room offers two story ceilings and a three sided gas log fireplace shared with the kitchen and breakfast area, creating an inviting central gathering space. The main level primary suite features a tray ceiling with accent lighting and a three sided fireplace. The ensuite bath includes a two person Jacuzzi tub, sit down shower, and dual vanities. The kitchen was designed for both function and entertaining with 88 custom cabinets, granite tile countertops, two full size sinks, a large island, bar seating, glass accent cabinetry, and a built in desk area. Glass block beneath the exterior cabinets allows additional natural light. New white GE Café smart appliances include a double oven smooth top induction range with convection and air fry, a convection wall oven with built in camera, a convection microwave vented outside, and a dishwasher with interior lighting and convection dry. The finished basement offers a large recreation room, bedroom with walk in closet, full bath, mechanical and storage room, and a heated and cooled garage that also functions as a workshop with extensive built in storage.
