Welcome to an updated waterfront retreat on the Blood River of Kentucky Lake, where thoughtful design, natural beauty and the relaxed rhythm of lake life come together. From the moment you arrive, the home sets the tone with HardiePlank siding and a metal roof, both added in 2021, complemented by nickel-gap shiplap details and extensive trim that give the home an unmistakable lake-house character.
Inside, soothing colors inspired by the surrounding landscape and water create a calming backdrop for an open floor plan filled with natural light. The primary bedroom, added in 2021, offers soaring ceilings and expansive windows that offer a stunning view to welcome you awake each morning, while a private bath offers a luxurious soaking tub and a closet with wood shelves and plenty of storage.
The kitchen, renovated in 2021, features upgraded cabinetry, quartz countertops, and a custom tile backsplash. The view and open living concept is enhanced by a 10 foot table/island with a quartz top and storage, creating a beautiful and functional gathering space.
Expansive windows frame a breathtaking natural backdrop, with towering loblolly pines drawing your eye toward the lake beyond. Step outside your backdoor to throw a pole in the canal, where you are likely to find crappie hungry for your bait. Look closely and you may even catch eagles soaring overhead.
Take a short stroll down the paved one way road to the community courtesy dock and ramp exclusive for the use of Lakeway Shores owners. You will be able to launch your kayak and some boats year round (most boats at Summer pool) just yards away from your front door!
There, you will even find a playground and sand swimming beach. The first floor offers accessibility, with less than a full step onto the covered porch from the new concrete driveway (2024) and again into the front door. Every inch of the home was thoughtfully designed to maximize space, using barn doors and intentional design in the remodel.
You will even find a unique closet office off the guest bedroom and built in shelves above the included washer and dryer. The partially finished basement expands the possibilities with a kitchenette and full bath with a tiled shower, offering an ideal space for guests, extended family or a multigenerational living arrangement.
The unfinished section of the basement offers built in shelving and a great place to store tools and treasures in a climate controlled environment. Perhaps the true heart of this home is found outdoors. Two screened porches, each with ceiling fans, invite you to slow down and stay awhile.
One, a sleeping porch, features two swing beds - the perfect spot for an afternoon nap or morning coffee-while the other is designed for twilight movie nights with a projector screen. Two additional large covered porches and a separate grilling deck on the mid level further extend the living space and make this home feel remarkably larger than its footprint.
A large pea gravel patio extends the outdoor living further, giving you places to lounge under the shade of a tree to capture a view of the lake and a cozy firepit with log seating. Extensive landscaping, including established perennials, surrounds the home, while a magnificent ginkgo biloba tree promises a spectacular display of brilliant yellow each fall.
Outdoor storage provides a convenient place for kayaks and paddleboards, and the community ramp and sand beach are just a short distance away. Located only 15 minutes from Murray, this waterfront retreat offers the rare combination of lake living, thoughtful renovation, public water and high-speed fiber internet-all in a setting where nature takes center stage. This is more than a lake house. It is a place to gather, unwind, watch the seasons change and make the lake part of everyday life.
