If our antique listings are not your fare, try this lavish, lakefront, 7-year-young colonial home, located in a quiet Acushnet subdivision, with easy access to route 140.

This 4-bedroom, 2-and-a-half-bath, 2,400 square foot home has all the amenities. It was built by the builder for himself, so attention was paid to every detail. The exterior is yellow painted clapboards. Oversized chimneys, wooden shutters, and old-style exterior hardware add character and make the home appear older than it really is. The house is beautifully sited on a large, grassy lot with stone walls, large trees, and professional landscaping. A paved driveway leads to an attached two-car garage. An underground sprinkler system makes yard maintenance easier.

The home has a front foyer, with large closets, a fireplaced living room, dining room, fireplaced family room, and large eat-in kitchen with granite countertops and cherry cabinets, and a half-bath. Sliders lead from the kitchen to the rear, 2-level, mahogany deck that overlooks a large lake and a distant tree farm. Nearly every room in the house has a waterview. Upstairs are 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths, including the Master bath. The Master bedroom has two large, walk-in closets. Underneath is a full basement with high ceilings. It can be finished to add additional space if desired. There is ample storage space above the garage and in the attic.

The home itself has all the amenities including: hardwood (oak) floors on the first floor, stairway, and the hallway on second floor; 2 wood-burning fireplaces; 200-Amp electrical service; 4-zone heating system with oil furnace, 2-zone central air conditioning system; a central vacuum system; a hardwired security/ fire alarm system; high-end hardware, such as Moen faucets; custom woodwork and door casings; attractive built-ins; and a large clapboarded shed in the yard. All appliances are included. Satellite system and surround sound convey with the house. The roof has 50-year architectural shingles. The lake views are lovely and serene. The lake is great for fishing, boating, swimming, or just sitting beside.
