Security of a gated community that has loads on amenities to enjoy. The Seller explains why they purchased the home and why they think you will enjoy it as your home>>>When you step in the front door, the foyer contains an updated, alcove with bench seating for a convenient, practical spot to slip off your shoes and hang your coat up. It has been encased with rustic boards that exude warmth and character. The stone fireplace at the end of the foyer is open on both sides allowing it to truly be the home's centerpiece. I immediately visualized it with our Christmas stockings hanging off the mantel and our 9' tree fitting easily beside it. The open living room/dining room floor plan, soaring vaulted ceilings, and large windows allow for a lot of light to pour through. Those same windows and the elevation of the home took my breath away as it seemed I was actually living in a tree house. Squirrels, birds, deer, and even golfers can be watched through those windows. The kitchen has a very cozy feel with its warm earth tones and is literally wrapped in cabinets. Storage has never been an issue. The primary suite on one end of the home allows for privacy and relaxation. The jetted tub and large round window in the primary bath overlooks the fenced in courtyard. The primary suite also has it's own separate door to the back screened in porch. That porch is a great place to retreat and watch the deer roam the back yard and is a cool respite from the summer heat. The other end of the home has two additional bedrooms that are spacious with cathedral ceilings. One of those bedrooms even has a walk-in closet - perfect for lots of toys or clothes to be stored. The bathroom on that end has a basin sink and a custom, rustic sink cabinet that compliments the style of the home. The first-floor laundry is conveniently located on the unique stair landing that leads to the 2 car garage and the walk-out basement. There is additional storage under the steps and a huge storage room that houses the furnace and water heater. The downstairs is perfect for an additional living room/den area/gaming room. There is enough open area to set up a workout space, craft area, or other endless possibilities. There are two more bedrooms downstairs that could easily be used as guest rooms or office space. The large windows overlook the backyard and the golf course. The downstairs custom bath features gorgeous tile work and a large walk-in shower with sliding glass barn-door type shower doors. You could completely live on the main floor and leave the lower level for when you have company come to visit or vacation with you here at the lake. There are plenty of neighbors in this quiet section of the lake, but the way the home is situated on the lot and the mature trees that surround it ensure that privacy is not an issue. Eastover Parkway conveniently loops around making it perfect for a quick lap around with your dogs. Home is within walking distance of the little lake and boat ramp - great for fishing and kayaking. The large, main lake is a short drive away and has many beaches for fishing, swimming, and boating. The community has 2 pools, a clubhouse with a bar and restaurant, a gym that overlooks the lake, and an equestrian center. There is always something to do at Lake of the Woods.
