Beautifully remodeled home on just over an acre! Take in the breathtaking views on the brand new spacious deck! This 3 bedroom 3.5 bath home has an open and functional layout with the master bedroom on the main level, one bedroom/bath on the lower level along with a flex room perfect for an office or game room, and another bedroom and half bath on the upper level. There is also tons of storage space, included a huge storage room next to the garage that stretches the entire length of the house! The home was remodeled in 2018 and the current owners updated the bathrooms in 2019. One of the few homes in Forest Lakes to have natural gas!
You will not find a nicer home for the price point anywhere in the County. This home feels like it is brand new. As you enter the huge living room, vaulted t & g ceilings and large windows set the tone. The living room, kitchen, dining room and breakfast nook all flow together with the open floor plan- perfect for entertaining, or for just enjoying the elevated views from anywhere on the main floor. The kitchen is gorgeous, with new granite countertops, new stainless steel appliances, a new European style range hood, new tile backsplash and new flooring. The Seller just remodeled the home from top to bottom. The flooring on the main level (including the Master Bedroom) is vinyl plank "LifeProof" and guaranteed for 50 years. There is new carpet in the other bedrooms. The home has been completely painted inside and out. There new light fixtures, new door hardware, new ceiling fans, new Moen kitchen and bath fixtures, and new toilets. Because of the tall ceilings and all of the large windows, this home feels light and bright. There is a huge private deck off of the living room and master bedroom, and a cozy balcony area off of the upstairs bedroom. The home has just been converted to Natural gas, and part of that conversion includes a brand new water heater. All of the light fixtures have been converted to LED (except the garage with new fluorescent lights). You will find lots of closet space throughout the home, including walk in closets in all 3 bedrooms. The garage is oversize, and adjacent to the garage there is a huge storage room. There is no HOA fee, but instead a metro fee that covers, water, road maintenance, trash and mailbox fees. This metro fee is $49.75/month.
