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 trolle y 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. Professionally surveyed, beautifully updated, and situated on one of the most desirable lots in Gilmore Lakes, this home offers the space, setting, and amenities buyers have been waiting for.
