Perched on a beautifully wooded .36-acre parcel, this meticulously maintained Cape Cod offers an exceptional combination of privacy, character, and extensive recent improvements! Enveloped by mature trees and just moments from deeded Round Lake privileges, this home provides a peaceful retreat in the heart of Clarkston. The inviting main level offers comfortable gathering spaces filled with natural light, an open-concept kitchen and dining area, and two bedrooms served by a full bath. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite serves as a private sanctuary, featuring generous proportions, abundant storage, and an adjoining flex space. The connecting ensuite bath is often sought but rarely found. The finished lower level substantially expands the home's living space and has been reimagined for modern lifestyles, featuring multiple recreation and entertaining areas, space for game nights and movie watching, a dedicated fitness area, and abundant storage. Thoughtfully updated throughout, the home blends timeless charm with modern convenience. Recent improvements include a new roof with 40-year shingles (2023), furnace and central air (2024), windows and exterior doors (2022), well pump (2022), gutters with leaf guards (2023), hot water heater (2020), garage doors (2021), tubs and showers in both bathrooms (2021), and all major appliances replaced between 2020-2021. Outdoor living is equally impressive. A welcoming covered front porch creates outstanding curb appeal, while the expansive covered rear deck overlooks the private backyard and offers the perfect setting for relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying Michigan summers. Beautiful landscaping, stone walkways, and an oversized two-car garage complete the setting. Located within the award-winning Clarkston School District, w/assigned Bailey Lake Elementary, & offering deeded access to Round Lake, this move-in ready home delivers the perfect blend of updates, privacy, outdoor living, and location. Come see, come sigh! IDRBNG
