Overview
Gilmore Lakes ranch with walkout basement on nearly half an acre. This beautifully maintained 3-bed, 3-bath home offers almost 3,000 sq. ft. of finished living space with a lake view and direct adjacency to common ground, ensuring lasting privacy and uninterrupted green space. The lot is truly exceptional, featuring mature trees, extensive low-maintenance landscaping with Hostas and Lilies, a hedge-lined perimeter with stone corner markers, and a stamped-concrete curved landscape border with matching sidewalk. Outdoor living shines here with a multi-level composite deck with aluminum railings, an inviting firepit area, and a dedicated burn pit that makes yard cleanup effortless. The seller is also including a fully functioning hot tub on the lower patio and an almost-new canoe with trolley for summer lake enjoyment.
Inside, a ceramic-tile foyer with an oversized coat closet welcomes you. The formal living/dining room features a large picture window overlooking the changing seasons and a cozy wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen offers stainless appliances, GE Profile double oven and dishwasher (2021–22), touchless faucet, and an expansive walk-in pantry. A breakfast bar connects the kitchen to the living area, while the breakfast room opens to the deck for morning coffee with a view. The main-floor laundry includes slate flooring, built-ins, a large utility sink, and a full wall of storage, and the attached two-car garage features insulated doors and attic access.
The main level includes three bedrooms and two full baths. Bedroom #1 features beautiful oak flooring matching the primary living areas. The remodeled full hall bath offers a jetted tub, double vanity, double medicine cabinets, storage tower, towel warmer, marble flooring, and custom tile with quality cabinetry. Bedroom #2 also features oak flooring, oversized windows, a lovely lake view, and built-in shoe racks. The primary suite is a true retreat with skylights, a large double closet, and space for a king bed and additional furnishings. Its remodeled en-suite bath includes custom marble flooring and walls, a walk-in shower, Walster cabinetry, double medicine cabinet, a generous linen closet, and towel warmers for a spa-like experience. A second formal living room at the front of the home—with crown molding and a large picture window—creates an ideal space for gatherings or to showcase seasonal décor.
The walkout lower level continues the home’s versatility, featuring oak stairs with spindles leading to a spacious finished area. A non-conforming fourth bedroom/flex room includes carpet and a huge walk-in closet with built-in ironing board, perfect for a craft room, gym, office, or guest suite. A kitchenette with double sink, included microwave, and a second laundry area makes this level ideal for visitors or multi-generational living. The family room offers a dining area and practical flooring, while the lower-level bath includes a walk-in shower, big linen closet, single vanity, and towel warmers. Additional storage includes an oversized walk-in closet with shelving, two tandem storage rooms, and an exterior door with double utility sink.
