About this home
A garden retreat near Bangs Lake! This inviting ranch offers easy single-level living, wonderful indoor-outdoor spaces and a setting that is anything but ordinary. From the moment you arrive, mature trees, beautiful landscaping and a welcoming covered front porch set the tone for a home filled with warmth, character and thoughtful spaces to enjoy. Inside, hardwood floors, Craftsman-inspired details and a beautiful stone fireplace create a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. Three main-level bedrooms, the primary bedroom has a beautiful private bathroom & walk in closet. The light-filled four-season room is surrounded by windows and provides a wonderful place to relax and enjoy views of the grounds throughout the seasons. The kitchen is so user friendly and easy to move around complete with granite countertops, breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances. The basement is complete with a 4th bedroom, full bathroom and large family room with beautiful craftsman styled oak millwork. Along with this is plenty of storage. The outdoor setting truly makes this property special. Step outside and discover a backyard that feels more like a private garden retreat than a typical suburban yard. Mature trees provide a beautiful canopy over expansive green space, while established gardens, raised planting beds and thoughtfully created outdoor areas invite you to wander, garden, entertain or simply find a quiet place to relax. A charming footbridge leads you into the yard where you will find a waterfall adding an unexpected sense of tranquility to the landscape. Spend summer evenings gathered around the firepit, enjoy dinner outdoors on the patio, grow vegetables, herbs and flowers in the garden beds, or simply enjoy the beauty and privacy of this remarkable setting. An enclosed hot tub area provides another private place to unwind. Tucked among the gardens is one of the property's most memorable features-a charming detached one room cottage with its own deck. Finished in warm wood with a skylight, built-in storage, heating and air conditioning, plus a Murphy bed, this cozy space offers so many possibilities. Create guest quarters, a peaceful home office, artist's or writer's studio, hobby room, reading retreat or simply your own private hideaway overlooking the gardens. And when you're ready to venture beyond your own backyard, Bangs Lake is close by. If you want to join the voluntary neighborhood association, it offers members use of a nearby beach area, boat launch and small park for providing an easy way to enjoy swimming, boating and days by the water without giving up the space and privacy of this beautiful property. An attached two-car garage, generous driveway and abundant outdoor living space complete the package. This is more than a ranch with a nice yard. It's a home designed for enjoying the way you live-morning coffee overlooking the gardens, afternoons on Bangs Lake, evenings around the firepit and quiet moments beneath the trees. A private garden retreat, the cute one room retreat and the Bangs Lake lifestyle, all in one very special place. Come for the house. Stay for the lifestyle....
