Located in Windmere, the 4200 square foot Thomas home has traditional style with modern features. The home has 5 bedrooms and 3 baths on 2 levels. The couple have owned the home for 18 years, but started to remodel it 5 years ago, a project lasting about 6 months. They opened up the foyer, added windows, converted a screened porch into a delightful dining room, and removed walls — including a stone fireplace between the kitchen and living room. The relocated fireplace is now gas-fired with a more contemporary shiplap surround. The kitchen continues the modern theme with a gray and white color scheme. The main floor hardwood is the original oak that was refinished during the remodeling. The master bedroom includes a sitting area with lake views, and the master bath features a large soaking tub and a tile shower. Two guest rooms and a full bath are also found on the main level. The lower level has luxury vinyl plank flooring with a movie/TV area, full bath, and 2 additional large guest rooms. Outside there are gently sloped walkways to a fire pit and down to the dock. The covered patio offers a wide Roanoke Channel view of the lake which includes Carter’s Island and Smith Mountain’s ridgeline with the “V” of the dam out in the distance.
