Fifty feet of prime frontage on one of the widest sections of Lake Dunlap sets the stage for this custom-built waterfront estate — currently operating as a short-term rental, with the architectural character to make it worth booking twice. The waterfront was completely reimagined in 2023: a new C-Loc bulkhead, an 8' x 22' concrete dock, metal stairs providing direct water access, and dock support pipes already sized to accommodate a future boathouse. A waterfront storage building with a concrete deck above adds functional space at the water's edge, a mature cypress tree shades the dock through the afternoon, and the neighborhood boat ramp gives easy lake access beyond the private dock. An expansive covered lakefront deck — vaulted wood-plank ceiling, exposed timber framing, multiple ceiling fans — extends the living space outdoors, connected to the landscaped backyard by exterior stairs. The property is fully fenced with privacy fencing, and a 2023 irrigation system keeps the landscaping maintained. Inside, four bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms are arranged with flexibility in mind: three bedrooms on the main level, including a primary owner's suite with direct outdoor access and a secondary owner's suite with its own ensuite bath, plus an upstairs bedroom/loft with a half bath, private balcony, and elevated Lake Dunlap views. Custom woodwork and rustic architectural detailing carry through every room, down to the wood doors throughout. The entry sets the tone with a soaring ceiling, a large circular architectural window, and custom wood trim over tile flooring. The dining area overlooks the lake through a large picture window beneath a vaulted wood-plank ceiling. The living room is the architectural centerpiece — high ceilings with custom wood detailing, a metal spiral staircase to the upper level, exposed brick accent walls and columns, and custom stained concrete flooring with wood inlay and decorative leaf accents, all opening directly onto the covered lakefront deck through multiple windows and doors. The kitchen matches the home's character with custom wood cabinetry, concrete countertops, and an oversized concrete island with open shelving and breakfast bar seating. An electric cooktop sits in the island alongside a built-in microwave and oven, dishwasher, and pantry, with a dramatic glass-block backsplash bringing in natural light. The primary suite offers direct exterior access to the lake view deck, a vaulted ceiling, wood-look flooring, a walk-in closet, and plantation shutters. Its ensuite bath features rustic stone detailing, a sliding barn-style door, a soaking tub, and a separate glass-enclosed walk-in shower surrounded by natural stone tile. A second main-level bedroom includes a vaulted, beamed ceiling and decorative glass-block windows, while the secondary owner's suite offers wood-look flooring and its own ensuite bath. Upstairs, the bedroom/loft is a private retreat with an oversized circular picture window framing the lake and mature trees, a private balcony, and a half bath behind a sliding barn door. A laundry room with cabinet storage and a locking storage closet completes the home. Income-producing, and set on one of the widest and most desirable points of Lake Dunlap, this property offers a rare combination: an architecturally distinctive home with a proven rental track record and direct, private lake access.
