This sprawling one-owner home sits nestled on the eastern shore of picturesque Avondale Lake. With nearly 6,000 square feet of finished living space, there is room for everyone, and enough flexible living space for ALL your lifestyle needs!

Architecturally designed, the main level living spaces are well appointed and provide a spectacular front-row seat to four seasons of Mother Nature's Lakeside Splendor. The home is warmed by natural light from big walls of windows that frame the lake views. Situated on almost 3/4 of an acre, the home sits back from the road, surrounded by tall pines for privacy. These beautiful, big homes on the Eastern shore of the lake don't often come on the market, they tend to remain in families for generations.

The Lake House has 100 feet of deep water frontage on Avondale Lake with a private dock. The 80-acre natural lake maintains high water levels year around and is reputed to have some of the best fishing in the area. Because motorized watercraft are not allowed on this community lake, no rollicking commotion will pierce the serenity or startle away the abundant wildlife in your private paradise. When you want some action on jet skis or wake boards, the Hayden Lake Boat Launch at Honeysuckle beach is less than 5 minutes down the road!

For golfers, you're an easy cart ride to Avondale Golf Club, a member-owned and semi-private course with impeccably groomed fairways and spectacular wooded scenery. It's no surprise that Avondale Golf Club won the popular vote for "Best Golf Course in North Idaho" in The North Idaho Business Journal's Best of 2011. Avondale's course is a challenging & enjoyable 6,600 yard 18-hole golf course that boasts a large putting green & natural turf driving range. And, just across the street is spectacular Hayden Lake Golf & Country Club!

A wall of bookcases lines one side of the space, while the other is anchored by a floor to ceiling wood-burning fireplace. Next to the fireplace is a built-in entertainment center. A home office with more built-ins sits near the front entry, next the the master suite.

The Master retreat has it's own lakeside deck and two-sided gas fireplace. A big jetted tub for two looks out to the lake on one side, and is warmed by the fireplace glow on another.

The kitchen is the heart of a home, and this kitchen is simply amazing. Expansive black granite countertops form a peninsula with eating bar, a kitchen island, a planning desk and a wet bar. The sleek maple cabinets are designed with efficient storage solutions. The base cabinets and pantry cupboards have pull-out drawers, shelves and storage bins. Sort recyclables right at the kitchen sink in a three-compartment pull-out container.

Only the best, when it comes to appliances. There's a big Sub-Zero refrigerator, Dacor oven and 5-burner gas stove top with retractable vent fan, Bosch dishwasher as well as a trash compactor.

Just imagine sipping your coffee and reading your morning paper in the big, bright breakfast room. It's bathed in natural light and overlooks the lake with it's own deck access.

Open to the kitchen is a bright room perfect as a formal dining room, but equally ideal for whatever fits your lifestyle. Sitting room, or perhaps a music room? Beautiful and flexible space with a lovely lake view.

Talk about functional! Beyond the kitchen at the garage entrance is a large mud room with a place for everything. It leads to the big, bright laundry room with built-in storage and laundry tub. There's an in-wall pull down ironing board. A cabinet door opens to the laundry chute from the upstairs hallway next to a full bath.
