Property Description
This storied property was once part of the legendary grain magnate George VanDusen family estate. Cherished and meticulously renovated, what was a large carriage house has been transformed into a storybook home. One can imagine weddings, gatherings of friends and family and daily life surrounded by the architectural beauty of the past seamlessly joined with new fixtures and finishes of the highest quality and sophistication. A full renovation from 2022 to 2024 turned this home that was once beautiful into a masterpiece. Every inch of this 7,000+ stylish square footage has been touched with new Duchateau hardwood flooring, new carpet, new paint, new roof, new ventilation system, new insulation, new light fixtures and much, much more. (See supplements.) The exquisite interiors are matched by the charming English garden and landscaping, all within the premier lakeshore community of Baycliffe. An impressive fountain stands at the center of the driveway turnaround, adding a striking feature. A fountain inspired by historical horse troughs brings a serene touch to the back garden, reflecting the property’s heritage. A subtle fountain at the driveway entrance greets visitors with a calming presence. The Baycliffe community offers the lakeshore lifestyle with docks at the end of an adjacent path, private maintained beach as well as private tennis and pickleball courts all within an intimate community of 17 neighbors. At its prime location, 4714’s dock has a 2023 installed, easy to use new boat lift system.
