At first glance, this home appears comfortably modest--but step inside and you'll be pleasantly surprised by nearly 2,500 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space. Custom-built in 2013, this home is the perfect blend of easy-to-manage size and expansive interior comfort, ideal for buyers who want room to live, gather, and grow without the feel of an oversized house. Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in a convenient, well-established neighborhood, the home is surrounded by a wooded backdrop that creates a peaceful, private retreat. Inside, quality craftsmanship is evident throughout, with engineered cherry hardwood floors, solid wood interior doors, and custom built-ins adding warmth and character. The bright, open kitchen anchors the main level and is designed for both everyday living and entertaining. It features custom cherry cabinetry with glass accents, quartz countertops, soft-close drawers, a vented microwave, and a sit-up bar. The dining area looks out over backyard while the screened porch offers a relaxing space to enjoy nature and tranquil views throughout the seasons. The main-level layout is intentionally designed for privacy and convenience. The primary suite is tucked away from the additional bedrooms and includes a roll-in shower, dual vanity, linen closet, and windows that flood the space with natural light. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath complete the main floor, along with a well-equipped laundry room featuring storage cabinetry, folding counters, newer washer and dryer, and a pocket door. The walkout lower level reveals just how much this home offers, expanding your living space with a wet bar and refrigerator, two generously sized bedrooms, a full bath, workshop, and abundant storage - perfect for guests, hobbies, or multi-generational living. Outside, enjoy enhanced landscaping, a storage shed, and a garage with a storage rack that stays. Other upgrades include a whole-house generator, new water heater (2023), Rhino gutter guards, humidifier, water softener and purifier, and removable custom stained glass accents. Conveniently located near shopping, schools, highways, nature trails, and an easy commute to the lakeshore, this home delivers far more than meets the eye. If you're looking for a home that feels cozy from the curb but lives large inside - without sacrificing quality, comfort, or style - this one is a must-see.
