The longing of the Sellers to reunite with their family has generated an exceptional opportunity for a fortunate Buyer in Big Canoe. Their yearning to be with their loved ones has led to recent price reductions, making it a compelling value proposition. The home boasts seasonal views of the lake and mountains, and with additional vista pruning, these vistas could potentially transition into year-round panoramas. This impeccably maintained residence is situated in the central area of Big Canoe, conveniently close to Lake Petit, and offers swift access to the marina, pickleball and tennis courts, beach club, wellness center, golf course, clubhouse, and all the amenities Big Canoe has to offer. The current owners acquired this property with the intention of making it their permanent residence, dedicating over $100,000 to repairs and upgrades. However, the strong desire to be with their grandchildren eventually became overwhelming, turning their longing into an opportunity for you, as the bulk of the necessary improvements has been completed by the sellers. Renovations encompass a full replacement of the house's siding, installation of a new retaining wall, introduction of shiplap ceilings, addition of exquisite flooring, renovation of the downstairs bathroom, and a kitchen overhaul with new appliances. An easy-breeze, year-round sunroom is also among the upgrades. Situated just four houses away from this charming abode is Lake Petit dam, and upon arriving at the driveway, the eye-catching stonework on the front of the house and the spacious, level parking area, perfect for maneuvering, become evident. Stepping inside, you'll be greeted by the inviting warmth of the woodwork and shiplap, creating a welcoming ambiance. The downstairs bedroom offers versatility for accommodating less mobile guests, functioning as an office, or even serving as the primary bedroom. The remodelled downstairs bathroom exudes mountain vibes, adding to the home's character. The cozy family room is ideally sized for either a mountain retreat or a full-time residence. Transitioning into the year-round sunroom, equipped with easy-breeze windows, you'll immediately notice the striking Big Canoe Mosaic steps that lead you into this delightful space. Here, you can relish cool mountain breezes while appreciating the view. Don't miss the charming deck, perfect for morning coffees or family barbecues. The kitchen's transformation has been artfully executed by some of Big Canoe's premier contractors, resulting in a space perfectly suited for preparing meals for your loved ones. Beyond the kitchen, the journey takes you past the laundry room and up the stairs to two bedroom ensuites, passing a loft that could serve as an office, play area, extra sleeping quarters, or a peaceful reading nook for your moments of tranquility. Each ensuite features expansive glass doors that open onto private decks, allowing you to indulge in birdwatching or admire the starlit nights. And for those concerned about storage, a substantial basement/workshop accessible from the exterior offers a solution. This exceptional home eagerly awaits its next owner to revel in all it offers. Additionally, the possibility of negotiating for all furnishings adds to the appeal. Buyer to verify all information and dimensions deemed important.
