Showings begin Sunday, August 16, 2026. Imagine starting the morning with coffee on the screened porch, gathering around the fireplace beneath soaring vaulted ceilings, and ending the day on the deck overlooking a treed backyard and western sky. This Lake Sherwood home gives you room to spread out without losing the spaces that bring everyone together—with an updated open main floor, main-floor primary suite, screened porch and large deck, four bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and a finished walkout basement that nearly creates another level of living. Fresh wood-look LVP, newer carpet, black stainless steel appliances, and a beautiful established neighborhood make it feel ready to simply move in and enjoy. Step inside and the height of the great room immediately gets your attention. The vaulted ceiling and fireplace give the room a dramatic sense of scale, while the updated flooring carries you naturally toward the dining and kitchen spaces. The kitchen is made for conversation, with granite countertops, an attractive backsplash, black stainless steel appliances, breakfast bar, and breakfast nook—so cooking doesn't mean being separated from everything happening around you. When the weather is too nice to stay inside, you have choices. Move dinner to the screened porch, step onto the large deck to enjoy the western view, or head down to the backyard. Mature trees give the outdoor spaces an established, peaceful feel, and the backyard treehouse adds another bit of character you simply don't find at every house. The main-floor primary suite makes everyday living especially convenient, with a spacious walk-in closet and private bath. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms and a full bath provide their own distinct area of the home. Then there's the walkout basement—and this is where the house gets even bigger. The expansive rec room has enough space to create multiple gathering and entertainment areas without feeling crowded. A fourth bedroom, full bath, bonus room, generous storage, and direct access to the covered patio give the lower level tremendous versatility and make it feel like a true continuation of the home. Set in the desirable Lake Sherwood area, this is the kind of home where the spaces you'll use most are also the ones you'll enjoy most: an impressive great room, social kitchen, screened porch, treed backyard, expansive walkout basement, and plenty of room to settle in and make everyday life feel a little more enjoyable.
