Meticulously cared for and filled with natural light, this spacious walkout ranch is situated on two parcels totaling 1.23+/- acres and offers a setting that is every bit as impressive as the home itself. Mature trees, an expansive backyard, and water access create peaceful views from so many of the rooms inside. The kitchen is truly the heart of the main level, offering abundant cabinetry, generous counter space, a large center island, stainless steel appliances, and an open connection to the dining area. Just beyond, a sun-filled sitting room lined with oversized windows provides a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the view. The spacious living room offers another inviting gathering space with a vaulted ceiling, gas fireplace, and dramatic windows that bring the outdoors in. The primary suite feels like its own retreat with a private bath featuring a tiled shower and separate jetted tub, direct access to a three-season sunroom, and multiple closets. A convenient laundry room and half bath complete the main level. The walkout lower level adds an entirely different layer of living space with an expansive rec room, separate family room with wet bar, two additional bedrooms with direct access to a brick patio, a full bath, and a second four-season sunroom with amazing views. Outside, the property offers plenty of room to enjoy its beautiful surroundings with mature trees, updated landscaping, a gazebo, patio areas, privacy fencing, a storage shed, and additional exterior access storage that is ideal for lawn and garden equipment. The home has been exceptionally well maintained, with thoughtful improvements made throughout the years including: 2026~new roof and skylights; 2023~new HVAC, concrete patio and sidewalk, and gazebo; 2022~new water heater, LG refrigerator, microwave, and dishwasher, new garbage disposal, and LED garage lights; 2021~addition of sunroom off of primary suite; 2020~privacy fence, updated landscaping, and storage shed; 2018~garage utility sink; 2017~22KW generator and Rainbow gutter helmets. A recent pre-listing home inspection has also been completed and is available for buyer review. Beautifully maintained, incredibly spacious, and situated in a setting that is difficult to duplicate, this is a home that deserves to be experienced in person.
