About This Home
As of May 2020Nestled by the shores of the Thronapple River at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac sits this ranch style stunner. Located in the desirable Maracaibo Shores community, this 4 bedroom, 5 bath home is tastefully situated on almost an acre of wooded land. You'll feel right at home in this natural retreat, while being just minutes away from the convenience of Cascade Rd. The home itself boasts loads of character and natural light, with a beautiful main floor master suite and possible guest suite with a private loft space. The bright and cheerful kitchen and enormous living room look out over the two story deck to the natural pond and fountain below. The lower level hosts a separate kitchenette, 3 spacious bedrooms, and a full bath. The large garage has plenty of room for your pontoon or speedboat, with private association access to the Thornapple River boat launch and sandy beach just around the corner. The current owners have lovingly maintained the property, and recent upgrades include a new furnace and invisible pet fence. This natural oasis is truly one of a kind- make sure to schedule your private showing today!
