    Discover an exceptional “labor of love” renovation in this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home located in a desirable lakefront community. Thoughtfully transformed over the past several years, this home offers both style and comfort from the moment you arrive. The stunning kitchen, completely redesigned in 2020, showcases custom European-style cabinetry, a warm wood-topped center island, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances. The great room features a dramatic two-story ceiling with high windows that flood the space with natural light, complemented by fresh, warm-neutral paint and a charming stone gas-log fireplace. A private home office sits just off the foyer—perfect for remote work. Both main-level bathrooms have been fully renovated with new tubs/showers, commodes, fixtures, lighting, and vanities. Light, low-maintenance laminate flooring runs throughout the entire home for a cohesive, modern look. Major upgrades include all new windows and doors, a replaced garage door, and a spacious back deck built just a few years ago—ideal for outdoor entertaining. The finished lower-level family room offers fantastic versatility: use it as an additional living area, fitness space, media room, or guest suite. Community amenities include a boat ramp, picnic shelter, and dock just moments away. Truly move-in ready—every detail has been thoughtfully handled. Come experience this beautiful transformation for yourself!
