You have to see this private lakeside retreat in the heart of New Hope! Nestled in a quiet neighborhood, this beautifully maintained home sits on a rare and peaceful stretch of shoreline along serene Meadow Lake. Whether you're sipping your morning coffee on the patio, launching a kayak from your backyard, or enjoying a cozy evening by the fireplace, this home offers a unique lifestyle where nature and convenience meet. The spacious backyard is truly a standout—lush, level, and ready for entertaining, playing, relaxing, or lakeside bonfires. The current owner has already taken care of one of the biggest expenses by professionally removing all dead trees, clearing the way for both safety and beauty. There’s plenty of room to garden, host guests, or simply enjoy the sweeping views of the lake. Inside, the home offers multiple living spaces, a fireplace for cozy winter nights, and large bedrooms filled with natural light. The kitchen and bathrooms provide a functional layout with opportunity to customize to your taste. A generous driveway provides ample off-street parking—ideal for guests & extra cars. Location-wise, it doesn’t get better: you’re just minutes from major highways, trails, shopping centers, restaurants, and schools. Whether you're commuting downtown or heading out for a walk around one of the nearby parks, everything you need is right at your fingertips.
