Allow me to introduce you to this inviting 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom lake home offering 2,096 sq. ft. of living space on 2.3+/- acres of both cleared & wooded land. Enjoy the perfect blend of lake life & privacy with an abundance of wildlife right in your spacious backyard. The cleared area is mostly flat & is the perfect canvas for making it your own outdoor oasis. As a comfortable full-time residence or a fantastic part-time lake retreat, this home is found in a highly desirable, lakefront & golf cart-friendly community in McDaniels. The property is across the street from the lake & just a quick hop, skip & a jump from Laurel Branch's boat ramp & a sandy recreational beach...a great place for kids & adults alike to sun, swim & float when you're not out boating on the lake. The covered front porch beautifully frames the front door which opens into the main living room. As you step inside, you're greeted with real hardwood floors & a thoughtfully designed split floor plan with ample natural light throughout. The primary suite offers two closets & is conveniently accessible from both the laundry & main living rooms. The primary bathroom features a corner garden tub, step-in shower & a double sink vanity. Two additional bedrooms & a second full bath with an updated vanity are tucked down the hallway at the opposite side of the house. The dining area is open to the well equipped kitchen. You'll appreciate having a pantry, an island, a peninsula with extra seating & all of the wood cabinetry for amazing storage. A gas fireplace accented with stone is the focal point of the den which is an ideal second living space for a large family or when hosting an overflow of guests. The breakfast area connects the den to the kitchen & access to the sunroom. This is a wonderful spot to enjoy morning coffee, a good book & great conversation or transform it into a dedicated office or even a 4th bedroom. From here, walk out to the covered back deck that wraps around to the driveway side of the home. This outdoor living space provides a great deal of privacy for your larger gatherings & brings the total "under roof" square footage to over 3,000. Having electric & a concrete floor, the 30x48 metal building is set up to function as both a detached garage & a workshop.
