Property Description

Upon entering through the double iron gates, you are captivated by the babbling rustic stone fountain, centered in a large motor court and garden with ample parking for guests and residents of this uniquely secluded 12-unit legacy enclave, nestled on its own private "finger" of Lake Hamilton. Awash in daylight from it's southern exposure, this spacious two bedroom, 2 bath condominium pairs panoramic lake views and stunning evening sunsets. Offering turn-key readiness, and set within the gated, park-like acreage of Lakeside Gardens, this one-of-a-kind home is now available for the first time.No steps from the garage, through the residence, to the enchanting covered veranda, where eagles are often spotted along the waterfront and forest shoreline. Nine foot ceilings and open layout with a bright California design approach, give the 1620 square foot unit a light and airy feel.The property offers the convenience of a deeded boat slip situated just below its lake terrace. The original owner has cared for and maintained the property since it was completed in December of 2006, and the grounds of lush, mature landscaping set a quiet tone from the moment you arrive. Every major system has been updated on a steady schedule: a Ruud copper coil HVAC unit with UV air filtration (2022), a Bradford White water heater (2018), a Whirlpool dishwasher (2020), a Whirlpool washer, an Insinkerator garbage disposal, and primary shower renovation (2023), and upgraded carpeting and padding from Peter's Flooring (2025). A Honda 6500 generator with a unique, built-in hook-up system adds further readiness. And, in 2017, Lakeside Gardens rebuilt all of their lake terraces. Custom details carry the same thoughtful design throughout, from two cedar-lined walk-in closets with built-in storage systems and a climate controlled 10x12 cedar-lined attic space, 36 inch granite counters in the kitchen to 36 inch granite vanities with vessel sinks in the baths. You'll find four custom interiorglass doors with matching custom shades, wood blinds or shutters on every window, floated ceilings throughout, and custom mirroring in the primary bedroom and bath. An electric fireplace anchors the living room area, built-in audio serves throughout, dimmers control every light, and retractable Phantom Screens enhance the two lakeside terrace doors. Each residence has a single car garage leading to a double height covered breezeway entry. With it's unique siting, this condo offers more privacy than the rest, with an extra large covered lake terrace that easily accommodates a dining table, chaise lounges and other necessary items for gracious lake living.With the lake view facing S/SW, the home is bathed in morning light, and the sunsets often range from heartwarming to majestic.
