About This Home

Set in the tranquil Highland Lakes section of Vernon, this fully renovated raised ranch blends top-tier craftsmanship with modern comfort?and access to one of the area?s most sought-after lake communities. As a member of the Highland Lakes Community, you?ll enjoy private access to five lakes, with opportunities for boating, fishing, swimming (free lessons!), and year-round recreation with various community events, BBQ's, playgrounds and more! Positioned on a .73-acre lot with open green space, a garden, and a well-manicured lawn, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath home has been completely transformed. A brand-new rear addition opens up a spacious great room with vaulted ceilings, seamlessly connected to a custom kitchen featuring premium cabinetry and upscale tile throughout. A striking stone fireplace with a brand-new wood-burning stove anchors the main living space, while the luxury full bathroom includes a deep soaking tub for relaxation. Downstairs, the walkout basement includes laundry and a blank slate?ready to become a den, office, gym, or workshop. With central HVAC, secondary radiant heat, and thoughtful renovations that allow for the option of a future second story, this home is designed with both comfort and expansion in mind. The owners built this as their forever home, but a job relocation out of state has opened the door for a new buyer to benefit from their vision and investment. This is a home?and a lifestyle?you won?t want to miss. Schedule your private tour today!
