About This Home
**July 4th Week Incentive! If under contract by Monday, July 6th, a closing credit will be offered for 2nd Floor New Carpeting!** Rare 5 Bedroom Watts model with 3 finished above-grade levels with spectacular views of Lake Leopold and protected native prairie - welcome to 860 Blazing Star Road in Prairie Crossing, one of the nation's most celebrated conservation communities. Thoughtfully maintained and truly move-in ready, the home's timeless Prairie Crossing architecture radiates warmth and character throughout. Fresh paint and updated light fixtures give the interior a crisp, elevated feel, while new stainless steel appliances bring a polished edge to the kitchen. Just off the kitchen, a beautifully appointed butler's pantry with a wet bar serves as both an entertainer's dream and the perfect dedicated coffee station. Step out onto the deluxe second-story porch and those sweeping prairie and lake views expand even further - stunning in every season. Two of the bedrooms open directly onto the private second-story balcony, offering a true bird's eye view of the neighborhood and the glistening waters of Lake Leopold - waking up here is something special every single morning. From the garage, a thoughtfully transformed mudroom creates the perfect drop zone, while multiple custom built-ins throughout the home add both function and style at every turn. Owned solar panels deliver long-term energy efficiency and peace of mind. The unfinished basement is roughed in for a future bathroom, offering exciting potential to customize even further. The finished third floor is a showstopper: rich hardwood floors, a full bathroom, and wall-to-wall natural light frame some of the most gorgeous lake views in all of Prairie Crossing - ideal as a recreation room, guest suite, or home office. Outside, the backyard opens directly to protected green space and a park - a rare and peaceful setting that extends your living space into nature. Miles of walking and biking trails, organic farmland, and protected open space round out a lifestyle that is truly in a class of its own. This is more than a home - it's Prairie Crossing living at its absolute finest.
