A truly special Monticello home where timeless curb appeal, mature landscaping, and an exceptional location create an inviting place to call home. Beautifully positioned along the golf course and just moments from the newly renovated park and aquatic center, this property offers a wonderful setting with tennis, pickleball, basketball, golf and recreational amenities close at hand. From the moment you arrive, the mature trees, established landscaping, and distinctive exterior make a lasting impression. Inside, this oversized two-story residence offers more than 3,600 square feet of finished living space, featuring three bedrooms, two full bath and 2 half bath and generously proportioned rooms throughout. The spacious family room is a true gathering place, highlighted by a vaulted ceiling and handsome wood-burning fireplace with brick hearth and surround. A gracious formal living room and inviting eat-in kitchen provide additional spaces for both everyday living and entertaining. Perhaps one of the home's most memorable features is the beautiful three-season room, where walls of windows frame peaceful views down the golf course fairway and fill the space with natural light. Step outside to the concrete patio and enjoy the privacy of the fenced backyard, surrounded by mature trees and beautifully established landscaping. The partially finished basement adds valuable flexibility with additional living space, hobbies, recreation, and abundant storage. Thoughtful updates, spacious interiors, an abundance of windows, exceptional outdoor spaces, and a setting that combines privacy with convenience make this a rare opportunity. A distinctive home in a sought-after Monticello location, offering the space, character, and setting that are increasingly hard to find.
