Johnston Mansion Makes a Big Splash

This house is meant to be lived in – inside and out.

Oooh. Feeling relaxed just looking at the picture? You should. It offers the tranquility of a picturesque setting near Saylorville Lake. 

Step out the back door to complete privacy and enjoy gatherings around an in-ground pool. Or, if you prefer the lake, the four-car garage at this house near Saylorville Lake even has a spot for your boat.

Feeling relaxed yet?

Some of the other special touches: an absolutely stunning vaulted ceiling in the great room with a stone fireplace and beverage center opening to a kitchen to create the best entertainment spot. French doors  open to a three-season room or to the deck that spans the entire back of the house.

Also on the main floor, there’s a formal living room, study and music alcove.

Large bedrooms upstairs have window seats, walk-in closets, private baths.

A photo gallery and complete property description are found on Aol Real Estate.
