Property Description
Lovingly maintained by owners who have cared for every inch of it for decades, this 2,272 sq ft gem sits on a beautiful one-acre lot just a quarter mile from the public marina at Governor Bond Lake. Is it dressed in the latest designer finishes? Not exactly. Is it impeccably cared for? Absolutely. Those vintage cabinets, flooring and finishes might not be what you would choose in 2026 , but they're a testament to the kind of meticulous ownership that's becoming harder and harder to find.
While today's buyers often focus on oversized kitchens and open floor plans, this home tells a different story. The bedrooms and kitchen are comfortable and practical, while the spaces where life actually happens are wonderfully generous. The expansive living room is filled with natural light from huge windows overlooking the private backyard, and a wood-burning fireplace creates the perfect gathering place on chilly evenings. Downstairs, the oversized family room with its ventless gas fireplace offers even more room to spread out, entertain, or simply relax.
This is a home built for people. Christmas mornings with the whole family. Fourth of July cookouts that somehow stretch into the evening. Birthday parties, game nights, and Tuesday dinners that turn into hours around the table because nobody's quite ready to leave.
Outside, the one-acre setting feels like your own little nature retreat. Mature trees provide shade and privacy, beautiful landscaping surrounds the home, birds and wildlife are frequent visitors, and a small wooded area at the back of the property invites exploration. There's even a garden space and storage shed ready for your next growing season.
The flexible split-level floor plan offers five bedrooms, including three on the main level and two additional bedrooms downstairs with egress windows. An office, bonus room, abundant storage throughout, and room to expand the kitchen if your vision includes future updates give you plenty of options to make the home your own.
The heated two-car garage, complete with its own wood-burning stove, offers ample space for vehicles, hobbies, tools, and weekend projects. And if you've ever wished a home came with "just one more closet," you're in luck. Storage is everywhere. It almost feels like the architect was preparing for several lifetimes' worth of holiday decorations, clothes for when you lose that last 20 pounds, and the other flotsom and jetsom that we all acquire.
Upates on the boring stuff? Those expensive things no one wants to do? Done for you. There is a radon mitigation system in place. The roof is roughly 5-7 years old. And as soon as the weather allows, the sellers are installing a brand new, $8,000 septic system so you will have no worries in that area for a very long time.
Solid construction. Exceptional care. A peaceful setting near the lake. This isn't a house trying to impress you with fleeting trends. It's a home that's been loved, maintained, and enjoyed for years, and it's ready to welcome the next chapter.
