This well maintained ranch sits creekside offering peaceful views of the nearby lake. It's open floor plan with vaulted ceiling creates a great living space. An open staircase takes you to the full finished basement where you'll find the large family room with a wood burning stove, a 4th bedroom, an office and a full bath. The main floor provides 3 bedrooms, a master bath, a guest bath and the convenient laundry room with utility sink. There's also a 20x12 deck off the dining area, a 24x15 patio off the family room with a 6 person Hot Springs hot tub (which is negotiable), and a 19x9 attached shed and 2 car heated garage. The furnace and A/C are less than a year old, the well pressure tank was new in 2025, and the roof was approx 2017. Only a $100 yearly dues for use and maintenance of the lake. The solar panels provide utility cost savings. It's a lovely home in beautiful surroundings any season of the year. See it soon if a new home in the new year is on your Christmas list!!
