Nestled on a quiet, wooded .43-acre lot, this contemporary home offers the perfect blend of privacy, tranquility, and modern comfort-just a stone's throw from the stunning shores of Wonder Lake. Tucked into a peaceful hill, the property feels both expansive and secluded, providing an ideal escape without sacrificing convenience. The large front yard offers endless potential for outdoor living, while a newly stained deck invites you to step outside and take in the natural beauty surrounding you. As you enter the home, you're greeted by a thoughtfully designed first floor with warm, inviting tones and beautiful hardwood floors. To your left, a stylishly updated bathroom offers modern finishes. To your right, a versatile room awaits your personal touch-whether you envision it as a formal dining room, cozy den, playroom, or home office. Custom built-in cabinetry lines the back wall, adding both function and flair. From here, a charming pass-through window connects the room to the heart of the home: a newly renovated kitchen that exudes sophistication. White granite counters perfectly complement the sleek white cabinetry, while a modern backsplash adds a pop of contemporary style. The spacious butcher block island not only enhances the kitchen's aesthetic but offers additional storage and prep space, with a 5-burner stove and stainless steel range hood. A new dishwasher and built-in pantry provide the ultimate in both convenience and functionality. The kitchen nook houses the laundry area, with a utility room just beyond for added ease. The first-floor bedroom features a large closet and plenty of natural light. Continuing through the home, you'll find a cozy living room with a striking brick feature wall and a wood-burning gas fireplace-a perfect spot for unwinding after a day at the lake. A sliding door leads to a private fenced backyard, offering ample space for outdoor entertaining or simply enjoying the peaceful wooded surroundings. Upstairs, you will find two additional bedrooms that are spacious and bright. The master bedroom is incredible with vaulted ceilings and a private deck that overlooks the serene, fenced-in yard-ideal for sipping your morning coffee or taking in a sunset. A newly updated bathroom connects the two upstairs bedrooms, offering modern finishes and style. Additional highlights include brand-new gutters (installed just 3 months ago), a private deck perfect for relaxing outdoors, and plenty of privacy from neighboring homes. While the home does not have central air, the home does come with window units. The combination of quiet wooded surroundings and thoughtful design ensures a comfortable living experience year-round. Located just seconds from the exclusive Wonder Lake and minutes from Keystone Landing and Glacial Park, this home offers a rare opportunity to experience the best of lakeside living. With Lake rights to the amazing Wonder Lake, a private and serene retreat, boat launch, park and amazing perks it is perfect for those who value both privacy and nature.
