Additional features include a main-floor utility room and a deep 3.5-foot crawlspace complete with vapor barrier and sump pump for added peace of mind. A 24kW Generac whole-house generator with automatic transfer switch ensures uninterrupted comfort no matter the weather. Car enthusiasts, hobbyists, or those needing extra space will appreciate the 2-car attached garage along with a detached 1-car garage featuring its own 100-amp service and workshop potential with sliding door access. Outdoor living is just as impressive with a deck overlooking the scenic lake in the front, while the backyard features a covered patio—perfect for entertaining or relaxing in a more private setting. The home is serviced by well, septic, and a water softener, and includes a roof approximately 2–3 years old along with new steel entry doors to the garage. A truly special opportunity to own a beautifully updated home on acreage with water views—properties like this are hard to find!
