If you’ve been searching for a peaceful setting, this is it! Tucked away at the end of the road, this home offers seasonal views of Spring Lake. As you arrive, you’ll be welcomed by a charming desert-style flagstone walkway, peach trees, raised garden beds, a decorative pond, and rock gardens. The backyard is fully fenced, and the detached garage/outbuilding—previously used as an automotive shop—provides excellent space for hobbies or storage. Inside, nearly everything has been updated for peace of mind and modern comfort. Upgrades include a new forced-air HVAC system, fresh carpeting in the bedrooms and living room, luxury vinyl plank flooring, repainted interiors, all new windows, ceiling fans, and beautifully remodeled bathrooms. The kitchen shines with a new island, cabinetry, and sink. Major mechanical updates include a new electric panel, septic system (2021), well pump (2021), steel roof and siding (2024), water heater, and water softener. This home blends charm, functionality, and thoughtful updates—all in a serene setting just steps from nature.
