Typically 3 to 5 bedrooms, 3+ bathrooms, and 2,500 to 4,000+ sq ft, including open great rooms, gourmet kitchens with islands and high end appliances, primary suites with ensuite baths, finished walk out lower levels, and multiple living areas for entertaining or family time.
Expect updated interiors with hardwood floors, stone fireplaces, vaulted ceilings, heated garages (often 3+ bays for boats/RVs), in floor heating, smart home features, energy efficient systems, and outdoor spaces like decks, patios, or screened porches overlooking the lake.
