Some homes put you near the water. 501 Lake Avenue makes it part of your everyday routine. Start the morning w/ coffee on the expansive front porch overlooking Ash Creek, launch a kayak from the end of the street, and come home in time for a drink as the sun sets over the water. Inside, hardwood floors extend through much of the first floor, including the living, bedroom, and dining room. Just beyond, the renovated kitchen features soft-close white Shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, and stainless-steel appliances. Off the living room, a light-filled bonus room offers flexibility as an office, sitting room, or den, w/ direct access to a private backyard framed by lush greenery and privacy fencing, plus a patio for dining, entertaining, and relaxing outdoors. A first-floor bedroom and renovated full bath w/ a porcelain-tiled tub and shower along w/ a shiplap wall complete the main level. Upstairs, the second bedroom becomes its own private retreat, with a separate hallway offering space for an office, reading area, or dressing space. Central air, natural gas heat, a detached garage, and a level.17-acre lot add everyday convenience.
