Feel lake breezes in gorgeous and updated modern first-floor-living home on 1/2 acre of pristinely landscaped grounds in phenomenal walk-to-all location... Meticulously updated, this home has been brought back to life with fine finishes and modern details to accommodate comfortable, every-day living in style. Enjoy the convenience of being steps to the beach, town, train, and parks while enjoying the ability to retreat to your own private serenity tucked away down a quiet cul-de-sac. You'll be greeted by the warm rays of natural light through the multitude of floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the first floor. The sprawling and sun-filled living room offers unobstructed views of the stunning grounds, professionally landscaped and maintained by Midwest Arbor, and provides a perfect environment for daily living or formal entertaining with stylized gas fireplace, gorgeous built-in entertainment center, and convenient access opening into both the dining room and beautifully renovated kitchen-family room. Experience your everyday living in luxury from the heart of the home; the ideally refigured and beautifully renovated kitchen opens directly into the sunny family room with gas fireplace. Top of the line appliances, quartzite countertops, dual full-sized refrigerators, and felt-lined drawers- for the most discriminating buyers! Escape to the retreat-like first floor primary suite with panoramic views and access to covered bluestone patio with hot tub with dual primary bathrooms and walk-in closets ensuring space for everyone and everything. The additional first floor bedroom with en-suite bath, custom built-in cabinets and Murphy bed offers flexible sleeping or office options. Find two more well-sized bedrooms on the second floor accompanying a large hall bath, built-in desk + office area, and two media / play rooms with sliding barn doors full of natural light. The fully finished basement includes a large rec room with bar area, well-appointed fitness room, and storage. The heated circle drive and attached 2-car heated garage conveniently leads you right into the sun-filled laundry and mud room! This house truly is the best of both worlds blending ranch-style with modern luxury and a premier in-town location with the seclusion of a large private lot down a quiet street.
