Imagine mornings overlooking your sparkling pool from the screened-in patio, and evenings retreating to a serene main-level primary suite filled with natural light. With a flat .60-acre backyard framed by fruit trees and a lake community that celebrates with golf cart and floating parades, this home is more than a place to live, it’s a lifestyle worth keeping. Upon entering, the grand foyer sets the tone, to the right, a formal dining room ready for holiday gatherings; to the left, a private home office filled with light. A graceful staircase rises ahead, leading to the second floor and hinting at the home’s spacious flow. The kitchen is both functional and charming. A sink at the window frames a picture-perfect view of the screened-in patio and sparkling pool, turning everyday tasks into moments of retreat. The island is just the right size for rolling out dough and baking homemade apple pies, while the double oven makes holiday baking a seamless process. Designed with both daily rhythms and joyful entertaining in mind, this kitchen is truly the heart of the home. From the three-car garage, a practical mudroom offers a closet, a large half-bathroom, and easy access to the laundry room, providing a thoughtful transition space after a day out. The laundry room itself is spacious and efficient, with a utility sink, closet, and abundant cabinets that make everyday living effortless. Plantation shutters in the dining room, granite in all bathrooms, and two attic accesses add elegance and convenience throughout. The main-level primary bedroom is a serene retreat, a cocoon-like sanctuary with two oversized windows that pour in natural light and frame a calming view of the pool. Its intimate design creates a plush, private escape for unwinding at the end of the day. Upstairs opens into a versatile loft, perfect as a second living room, children’s playroom, media room, or casual hangout space. Three secondary bedrooms complete the upper level: two facing the front of the home and one facing the back. The screened-in patio adds another layer of lifestyle, a peaceful, nature-focused extension of the home. Perfect for a quiet morning coffee or evening relaxation, it embraces the “slow living” rhythm of the lake Lyman community. Outside, the .60 acre flat backyard is both inviting and practical. A sparkling chlorine pool with a new sand pump promises summers of fun. While a large flat grass area is perfect for that swing set or throwing a ball around. Old-growth Thuja arborvitae create a natural privacy screen, while apple, peach, and pear trees add seasonal delight and beauty. Even pets are considered, with a two-section dog corral, part concrete, part grass, designed for secure play and rest while keeping the yard pristine. Recent updates provide peace of mind, including a tankless water heater, two furnaces (one located in the crawlspace and a heat pump upstairs), a whole wall of storage with doors in the garage, and a gas line connected to the patio to accommodate your favorite grill. The neighborhood feels like a hidden gem, not a true gated community, but exclusive in its own way thanks to quiet streets, well-maintained homes, and thoughtful landscaping. Community traditions make it truly special: annual yard sales, golf cart parades, and floating the river with neighbors. The signature Fourth of July Flotilla transforms the lake into a patriotic parade, ending with fireworks over the community dock. Families also enjoy a dedicated children’s park and a private dock, a safe and welcoming place to gather and play. Legacy is not something you can buy. It’s an action you take. This home has been the setting for one family’s story; now it can be the beginning of yours. Contact me today to schedule a private showing.
