There is a lot to appreciate about 12129 Carmela Drive, but the setting may be what stays with you the longest. Located in Fenton and served by the small postage stamp, award-winning Lake Fenton School District, this home enjoys a setting where lakes, recreation, and an active lifestyle are part of everyday life. It is just minutes from the restaurants, shops, and character of Downtown Fenton, with the city’s larger business district only a few minutes farther away. Offering approximately 1,910 square feet above grade plus nearly 1,000 square feet in the finished walkout lower level, the home has been thoughtfully designed to take advantage of the natural area behind it. The main-floor primary suite enjoys a peaceful backyard view and includes a private full bath, two sets of closets, and a walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms are located upstairs along with another full bathroom, creating separation that works especially well for guests, home offices, or anyone wanting a little extra privacy. The spacious kitchen features granite countertops, a pantry, generous workspace, and an adjoining dining or breakfast area. A sliding glass door opens directly to the impressive 14' x 26' deck, making it easy to move from everyday meals to outdoor dining and relaxation. In the living room, an oversized bank of windows draws your attention toward the wooded natural area beyond the backyard, while a gas-log fireplace gives the room a comfortable focal point year-round. At the front of the home, French doors open to a flexible den that can just as easily serve as a formal dining room. A main-floor laundry and half bath complete the level. Ceramic tile with the appearance of wood flooring runs continuously through the living room, kitchen, dining area, half bath, and laundry room. Then there’s the finished walkout lower level—a space made for actually being used. There is room for the pool table, dart board, card table, game-day seating, and more, while daylight windows keep the area bright. Step outside to the covered patio and hot tub area, with the sellers willing to leave the hot tub for the next owner. The backyard offers plenty of usable lawn along with a firepit near the rear of the property, all bordered by the natural setting that gives this home such a comfortable sense of space. Important updates and features include new shingles installed in November 2025, newer windows throughout, a reverse-osmosis system at the kitchen, an owned Iron-Out system, and an irrigation system. From quiet mornings overlooking nature to summer evenings on the deck, weekends around the firepit, and game days downstairs, this is a home with spaces you’ll use—and a setting you’ll appreciate every day.
