About this home

Come and see the metamorphosis the owner has done with his updating. The entire interior has been renovated including but not limited to all wall and trim surfaces, new kitchen appliances, quartz countertops, light fixtures, all floor coverings, garage doors, all bathrooms and bathroom fixtures, recessed lighting, new and improved laundry room and also finished 775 ft. of the walkout basement. This beautiful home, in the prestigious Shorewood Forest subdivision, was designed and built by a professional engineer to serve as his private residence. Structurally sound, as one might expect, and maintained as well, this home sets on a 1/2 acre wooded lot with wonderful views from every window. The main level and the walkout basement leads to a ground-level patio and spacious exterior decks for outdoor living. With access to Shorewood's 250 acre lake, for boating and skiing along with the amenities of their community pool and clubhouse, offers great outdoor entertainment.
