An exceptional offering on the Portage Chain of Lakes, this distinguished Portage Bay Highlands estate includes a private deeded dock on Portage Lake--the largest and deepest lake on the chain. Set on .69 acres, the Victorian-inspired residence known locally as 'The Castle' blends architectural character with a fully reimagined interior. Completed in 2025, the renovation brings a refined, cohesive feel to the home. The kitchen is both striking and functional, anchored by a massive quartz island and equipped with a six-burner Bosch range, in-wall Thermador steam & speed ovens, Thermador dual-compressor refrigerator, and Bosch smart dishwasher. It flows seamlessly into a sunken family room offering a more intimate setting centered around a stone-surround gas fireplace. A two-story foyer and sweeping curved staircase introduce the home with presence and scale.Dark-stained hardwood floors run throughout the main level, complemented by a private office with French doors, an updated powder room, and a main level laundry. Formal living and dining spaces are defined by a distinctive turret-style ceiling--an architectural detail that gives the home its signature identity. Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms offer flexibility for both everyday living and guests. The primary suite is set apart as a private retreat, complete with a sitting area, generous walk-in closet, and a new spa-inspired bath with soaking tub, glass-enclosed shower, and dual vanities. The walkout lower level extends the living experience with a large recreation space, wet bar, full bath, and a non-conforming fifth bedroom or office, along with dedicated workshop space and substantial storage. A five-car attached garage accommodates vehicles, recreational equipment, or boat storage with ease. Outdoors, a wraparound porch and rear Trex deck overlook a quiet, private yard, while Dock #13--just a short walk or golf cart ride away provides direct and private access to the lake. Offering approximately 4,685 square feet of finished living space, this is a rare op
