Set within the coveted enclave of Lakeside Preserve, this 2013-built residence offers a rare pairing: the ease of newer construction and the privilege of private lake access, all within the DeWitt School District and Watertown Township's more favorable tax rate. Beyond the entry, an intelligently conceived floor plan unfolds across two levels. A generous first-floor office anchors the front of the home, while the living room opens gracefully to the kitchen and eat-in area — a space designed for both quiet evenings and easy gathering. The kitchen is appointed with granite countertops, a substantial center island, stainless steel appliances, and a walk-in pantry adjoining the coat room. New flooring and fresh paint carry throughout, lending the home a distinctly turnkey presence. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a walk-in closet and an en suite bath of uncommon scale, finished in warm wood cabinetry with dual sinks and a walk-in shower. Three additional bedrooms and a second full bath complete the level, joined by an open loft — an adaptable space equally suited to a second office, reading room, or retreat. The lower level presents considerable storage today and genuine potential for finished living space tomorrow. Outside, a tree-lined yard offers privacy and room to roam, with lake access, a sand volleyball court, and a neighborhood park with trails and a basketball court just steps beyond. Sidewalks connect to schools, shopping, and downtown DeWitt, each only minutes away. For those weighing new construction, this residence presents a compelling and considerably more attainable alternative — already realized, thoughtfully finished, and ready for its next chapter. Offered by White Pine Sotheby's International Realty.
