Built in 1978

In 1978, Bob Sisk and Mary Lance Sisk, of the Lance Cracker Family, conceived the original vision for this exquisitely crafted residence. Fast forward to 2017, the current owners embarked on a comprehensive two year long renovation aimed to infuse the home with contemporary style elements while preserving the inviting warmth that had become integral to their family culture. The renovation was underpinned by three primary objectives: firstly, restoring the residence to the pinnacle of sophistication reflective of its original construction forty years prior. Secondly, optimizing its layout to seamlessly facilitate the frequent gatherings that had become a hallmark of their post-parenting chapter. Lastly, their commitment to environmental stewardship led them to integrate sustainable practices, including the incorporation of solar energy technology. Crafted with a blend of thoughtful design and unparalleled craftsmanship, this home embodies both style and sophistication. Inside you will discover a symphony of space and style, where the sprawling 4300+ sq. ft. floor plan unfolds seamlessly under the guidance of masterful interior design. Each room is a testament to the timeless style coupled with the inviting warmth that defines the essence of this home. Over 60 casement windows frame picturesque views to effortlessly blend the interior with the beautifully landscaped and hardscaped exterior. The partially wooded, 1.8 acre lot near Eastwood Lake, evokes a sense of serenity and solitude while remaining within a mile of shopping, restaurants, and entertainment venues. In addition to style and artistry, the owners demonstrated their commitment to sustainability by installing two independent solar systems that achieve a net zero energy cost for the entire property. Additionally, the property includes a 454 sq. ft. guest cottage to serve as a private retreat for visitors, separate space for an opare, a tranquil yoga space, a quiet home office, or an opportunity for passive income. Complete with 1 bed, 1 bath, living area, kitchen , and laundry, this charming space offers flexibility and independence.
