5739 Windy Acres Lane Classic white two story with shutters and front covered porch, upstairs bedrooms, set up on a small hill in a large rolling yard with mature trees, in a quiet neighborhood. The back yard overlooks a wooded, trillium ravine with a farm field and St Joseph river valley; and offers a natural setting for wildlife, gardening, and solitude; yet is only a mile from downtown Berrien Springs shopping and close to Love Creek Nature Preserve. The home includes separate dining and kitchen eating areas separated by a U-shaped kitchen that provides an open view into a family room with fireplace and skylights. The kitchen provides plenty of storage and counter space, and is within a few steps of the interior garage door. Except for the bathrooms, the second story and steps are oak hardwood, currently covered with carpet except for the master bedroom. The basement is bright and ideal for playing or hobbies. A separate finished basement laundry room includes a sink, counter, upper and lower cabinets for storage, work bench with shelves, and built in freezer. Even the utility room includes a separate closet with shelves. I’ve realized a total yearly utility cost of approximately $1800 due to the efficient geothermal HVAC. The attached garage is plenty deep for large vehicles plus storage; but if you need more room, the attractive detached garage with electrical service sits adjacent to the drive and house. Other features include back concrete patio, paved drive, lightning rods, three bedroom ceiling fans, and ornamental trees. This is a solid home, and there exists much opportunity for value increase through remodeling. Solid oak is being installed in the family room, eating area, kitchen, and hall. Photos will be updated when complete.
