About 500 Lake Winnemissett Drive
Under contract-accepting backup offers. Set on a secluded 0.96 acres in the distinctive Lake Winnemissett area, this custom 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home offers exceptional space, privacy, flexibility, and possibilities rarely found together. With 3,217 square feet of living area, a dedicated den or study, an expansive upstairs bonus room, a screened pool and spa, impressive parking, and a massive detached barn and workshop, this property has room for everyday living, entertaining, recreation, storage, and favorite pursuits.
Inside, generously sized rooms, abundant natural light, fresh interior paint, and new carpeting create a welcoming atmosphere. A striking double-sided fireplace serves as a beautiful focal point shared between the formal dining room and the living/family room, adding warmth, character, and architectural interest to both spaces. Just off the entry, French doors open to a dedicated den or study. All four bedrooms are generously sized, including a main-floor primary suite with sliding doors leading directly to the pool area. The primary retreat also features an en-suite bath and an exceptionally large walk-in closet with extensive built-ins.
Upstairs, the oversized bonus room includes a half bath, plumbing for a future sink, and access to its own balcony with a glimpse of Lake Winnemissett. This flexible space offers possibilities for a theater room, game room, creative studio, private retreat, or additional entertaining area.
Outdoor living is centered around a screened 22,000-gallon pool with a jetted spa, generous deck space, and a spacious covered lanai finished with brick pavers. An additional brick-paver patio just outside the screened lanai provides even more room for outdoor gatherings, grilling, or relaxing. The expansive grounds provide plenty of room for recreation, gardening, gatherings, and enjoying the surrounding wildlife.
One of the property’s most remarkable features is the substantial detached three-bay barn, garage, and workshop. A double-width garage bay and adjoining single garage bay provide extensive space for boats, vehicles, equipment, projects, and storage. The building also includes a storage loft, an additional storage room, and a separate side room offering further potential with renovation.
Parking is exceptional throughout the property. A Y-shaped front driveway branches into two generous parking areas, with ample room for multiple vehicles and potential space for an RV, boat, or other recreational equipment. An additional side driveway provides convenient access to the house and attached two-car garage. The property also includes an 18-by-31-foot prefabricated RV carport with a poured concrete pad, offering approximately 16 feet of height at the center and 14 feet along the sides.
Additional improvements include a whole house water filtration system and softener (2025), new roof (2022), new pool motor (2023), new chimney (2022), updated smoke alarms (2026), and refreshed landscaping and fresh paint. There is no HOA.
