Well-appointed and recently renovated by Haile Kitchen & Bath, this stunning kitchen features custom wood cabinetry, expansive quartz counters, and a KitchenAid stainless steel appliance package. A thoughtful three-way split floor plan provides privacy and flexibility. One bedroom enjoys its own full bath, while two additional bedrooms share a beautifully renovated Jack-and-Jill bathroom. The upstairs primary suite offers a peaceful escape with stunning lake views, a comfortable sitting area, elegant ensuite bath, and generous walk-in closet. Just steps away, the guest house offers two bedrooms, two full baths, a full kitchen, living room, and dining area-ideal for long term guests or multigenerational living. Outdoor living truly defines the experience here with an expansive screened porch overlooking the lake, a screen-enclosed pool and spa, and a fully equipped summer kitchen featuring a premium professional-grade grill, Big Green Egg smoker, custom cabinetry and granite counters. The gently sloping lawn leads to the screened boathouse and private dock constructed with low-maintenance, long-life Trex composite decking material. A new covered boat lift and lakeside kitchen make it easy to transition from a day on the water to relaxed evenings overlooking Melrose Bay and the open waters of Big Lake Santa Fe. Additional features include a whole house, fully automatic Generac propane generator serving the main residence and a two-car garage with the potential to convert to a three-car configuration. Located in one of the most desirable areas of Lake Santa Fe, Melrose Bay is known for its natural beauty and protected shoreline as a no-wake zone, offering calm waters and a peaceful lakeside setting.
