About This Home

As of February 2025

Don't miss your chance to own this immaculate, brick ranch with a partially finished basement overlooking the lake. Located in sought after Lakehaven subdivision and the Union Grove School District. This well-maintained home features a split bedroom plan and includes a private primary suite with trey ceiling and a spa-style bathroom with double vanities, a frameless shower with a relaxing full body massaging spray, an elegant round soaking tub, and a walk-in closet with built-ins. The spacious kitchen features plenty of cabinet and countertop space and stainless appliances including a double oven.

This home also offers a large formal dining room and a laundry room with cabinets and a sink. The partial finished basement has a full bath and finished game/rec room. As a bonus for the buyers, the sellers are willing to leave the pool table and treadmill. The remaining unfinished area has many possibilities if you need additional space. The newly replaced multi-level deck offers great views of the private backyard and lake. Although you won't see it now, the yard comes to life in the spring and summer with an abundance of colorful trees and plants. The reservoir allows canoes, kayaks, and boats with electric motors and the community offers 2 swimming pools, bath houses, a grilling area, and tennis courts. Ask how you can receive up to $1500 credit by using one of our preferred lenders. Exclusions may apply.
