Lake Ponderosa living is calling with this stunning, remodeled home that’s perfect for today’s active family. This three-bedroom, three-bath property is a must-see, blending stylish design with practical amenities for an effortless lifestyle. The home has been meticulously updated from the studs out, ensuring a move-in ready experience. Within the first year of ownership, the property received a new HVAC system, water heater, and floors. The kitchen was outfitted with new appliances, and a new deck and patio were added to enhance outdoor living. The backyard was tilled and reseeded, and the fence was stained for a refreshed look. A new roof and siding were also installed after the last hail storm. The heart of the home is the open-concept living area, with kitchen, dining room, and living room that flow together, making it ideal for entertaining. The master suite offers a private retreat with an ensuite bath, while two additional bedrooms provide ample space for family or guests. Downstairs, the finished lower level with a bar and living room or extra sleeping quarters; the pool table is negotiable. Outside, the large, fenced-in backyard offers a private oasis, with an upper deck for enjoying the lake view and a shaded lower patio. The property also has incredible storage with a four-car garage and a separate 40x24 storage building with room for vehicles, boats, and all your recreational gear. With a 10' lake access included. This place is ready for your life!
