Nestled within the exclusive Lake of the Woods, a pristine gated community renowned for its serene lakeside views and immaculate golf courses, lies a gem of a residence awaiting its next fortunate owner. Positioned on an expansive lot of nearly half an acre, this home is enveloped by a lush tapestry of trees, providing an oasis of privacy and tranquility. The residence boasts three spacious bedrooms, three beautifully designed bathrooms, and offers two levels of sophisticated living space. Step inside to be greeted by an inviting open floor plan, accentuated by a vaulted beamed ceiling that bestows a touch of rustic elegance to the home. Sunlight filters in generously, bouncing off every corner, truly illuminating the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into its recent top-to-bottom remodel. Whether it's a summer evening spent on the screened-in porch or an afternoon barbecue on the expansive wrap-around deck, outdoor living is as luxurious as the indoors. Descend to the fully finished, level walk-out basement, and you'll find a cozy haven complete with a built-in electric fireplace — perfect for those chilly nights. The space is accentuated with a tastefully remodeled bathroom and contemporary recessed lighting, adding a modern touch to its cozy ambiance. Homeowners can take solace in the myriad of updates ensuring the home's longevity and quality. In 2021, the basement was diligently waterproofed. The subsequent year, 2022, witnessed a comprehensive external makeover with a new roof, gutters, soffits, windows, siding, and landscaping that breathes life into the property. As recent as 2023, enhancements have included an extended driveway culvert, additional landscaping, strategic tree removal, and the installation of a brand-new hot water heater, washing machine, dishwasher, and ceiling fans. Not to mention, the newly poured concrete sidewalk which elegantly guides you into this haven. This home is not just a dwelling but an experience; a harmonious blend of nature's tranquility and modern living. It's not just about residing, but thriving in a community that offers both the serenity of lakeside living and the thrill of the fairway. This home is located on the popular side of the lake and walking distance to the beach. Welcome to your dream home at Lake of the Woods.
Great corner location with a circular gravel driveway and plenty of room to park at least two cars. Home has been nicely remodeled, lots of new features. Send apart of basement has a low ceiling. Some extra storage space in the back.
