Set on an oversized corner lot with pond access, the property boasts six bedrooms, six bathrooms, and three separate living spaces - perfect for multi-generational living, rental income, or an in-law suite. While the entire home is connected, each area offers privacy and flexibility to fit your needs. The main house features approx. 2,400 sq ft with four bedrooms and two full bathrooms upstairs, including a private primary suite. On the main floor, the kitchen is a true centerpiece, offering ample counter space crafted from walnut slabs with a live edge - combining warmth, character, and functionality. There's room for everyone with two separate living areas, a formal dining room, a half bath, and a combined mud/laundry room. The family room is anchored by a wood-burning stove, creating a cozy retreat for winter nights. A bright three-seasons room overlooks the pond and backyard, extending your living space. The finished basement adds another 1,000 sq ft, with a rec room, half bath, and the perfect office setup. An attached in-law suite, with its own private entrance off the back deck, provides 800+ sq ft of additional living space. Inside you'll find vaulted ceilings, a light-filled main living area, a kitchenette with dining space, in-unit washer/dryer, and a large bedroom suite with backyard and pond views. The third living area, located in the basement with a separate entrance through the garage, is over 600 sq ft and includes a spacious bedroom, full bath, washer/dryer, cozy living area, and kitchenette with an oversized egress window. Step outside and enjoy your private outdoor oasis. A 400 sq ft wraparound deck leads down to a stamped concrete patio with plenty of seating space, now enhanced with a privacy fence for comfort and seclusion. Mature trees and premium aluminum fenced yard provide both privacy and security. A small dock at the pond offers the perfect spot to cast a line, watch the sunset, or use the paddleboat. Entertaining is made easy with a gas line for your outdoor grill and a brick wood-burning oven that is already underway - bringing outdoor cooking dreams to life. For storage and projects, the property offers outstanding garage and workshop space. The attached garage is extra-deep and wide, equipped with built-in storage and water access. Through the fence with a double gates for access, you'll find a second jumbo workshop (or an additional garage) - fully heated with its own furnace, a dust collection system, tons of workspace, and a center work island. Spanning more than 650 sq ft, this space is ideal for woodworking, hobbies, or any creative project. And for even more flexibility, there's a shed with electricity - perfect for storing a lawnmower, tools, or even housing chickens if that's your thing. Recent updates include new: roof, siding, gutters, deck boards, cedar wrapped columns, water softener, sump pumps, and a beautiful faux cedar garage door giving buyers peace of mind that the big-ticket items are already done. This home combines space, versatility, and beautiful outdoor living - all in one exceptional package!!
