Tucked away on a serene 3.06-acre wooded lot, this beautifully maintained Cape Cod offers the best of privacy, space, and convenience—with direct, gated access to Sherando Park and its trails, lake, and recreation. Step onto the charming covered front porch, and into a light-filled cape cod featuring recent paint in neutral tones, updated carpeting and LVP flooring, and a 2-story foyer with a classic wood staircase. The spacious kitchen boasts updated appliances, a large pantry cabinet with pull-out shelving and drawers, and an eat-in dining area. Just off the kitchen, you'll find a convenient laundry closet with new front-loading washer and dryer. The main level primary suite includes a ceiling fan, walk-in closet, and an updated en suite bath with soaking tub, separate shower, and dual vanity. The living room has been beautifully updated, with a rebuilt fireplace and flue, creating the perfect cozy gathering spot. Just off the dining area, a 3-season room offers peaceful views of the surrounding trees and wildlife. Upstairs, you'll find two generously sized bedrooms, each with walk-in closets, ceiling fans, and access to floored attic storage, along with a recently updated full bath. The partially finished lower level includes a freshly carpeted family room and plenty of unfinished space—ideal for storage, hobbies, or potential garage conversion. Major updates include a high-efficiency heat pump HVAC system with UV air filtration and recently replaced windows—bringing energy savings and peace of mind. Car enthusiasts or those needing serious workshop space will love the massive detached garage—measuring 20' x 50' with 16' ceilings, plus an additional 16' x 18' side bay. Once used for large trucks, it includes an oil heater, air compressor (conveying as-is), as well as a vehicle lift.
