Master Bath | This may be the most stunning bathroom we’ve ever seen.  With its wall of glass, vaulted ceilings, and his and hers pedestal sinks mounted just in front of the glass, you won’t find another bath like this one.  The floors are slate as is the oversized shower with two showerheads.

Guest Suite | On the second floor, this quiet guest room is tucked off to the side.

Grounds | The homesite offers a private setting with stunning year round views.  The owner brought in boulders from a nearby quarry and worked them into the side of the mountain to create stairs down to the lake. These beautiful native stones have been integrated into the landscaping at both the house and boathouse.

The Boathouse | Built in 2005, the boathouse is truly a house in itself.  Inside, you’ll find a full kitchen with Silestone countertops, range, dishwasher, and refrigerator; large open living room/dining room with cathedral ceilings and wood burning rock fireplace; and a full bath with shower, commode, and vanity. These gracious rooms open up to a large deck with one of the best views of Lake Summit.  The walls are pickled pine as are the cathedral ceilings. Down below is the boat slip with boatlift, storage rooms, huge deck with outdoor shower, and nice swim area. The upper decks are low maintenance Trex deck and ironwood is used on the lower decks.

The Community | Spanning 300 acres with around 10 miles of shoreline, Lake Summit is a very special place.  Duke Power generates power from their hydroelectric plant at the eastern end of the lake.  There are just over 250 cottages with boathouses around the lake; most used as summer getaways.  On the western end of the lake and along the headwaters of the Green River, Camp Greystone for girls, Camp Green Cove for girls and Camp Mondamin for boys have a long history as great summer camps.  The Green River is the main tributary for the lake, and with just one look into the water, you will know why it is called the "Green" River. Residents enjoy power boating, sailing, skiing, wakeboarding, kayaking, swimming, pontoon cruises and just sitting on the deck  taking in the view
