About This Home
Experience elevated, year-round waterfront living at 199 East Shore Drive. Positioned directly on the widest expanse of Lake Hayward, this exceptional property delivers a seamless blend of classic lake house charm and modern capability. The main level offers an inviting, open-concept living and dining space anchored by a gas fireplace, custom built-in bookshelves, and hardwood flooring. The eat-in kitchen features a gas range and flows effortlessly toward the water-facing exterior. A versatile first-floor den easily serves as a highly functional third bedroom, perfectly situated across from a full bathroom and a dedicated first-floor laundry room. The second level is entirely dedicated to two substantial en-suite bedrooms. The oversized primary suite acts as a private retreat, complete with a dedicated sitting area and a spa-like bath featuring a glass shower and a large jetted tub. The guest suite is generously proportioned to easily accommodate multiple beds, paired with its own full bathroom. Outside, the property reveals a thoughtfully designed lakeside oasis. A spacious deck with retractable awnings and sunscreens overlooks the water, stepping down to a lakeside patio. The gentle, walk-on shoreline provides easy water access without abrupt drop-offs, leading to a small private beach and an included dock perfectly suited for a pontoon boat.
