1247 S Golden Lake Road

This Pinterest-worthy, completely updated ranch on a full finished basement is surrounded by trees and sits on nearly a half-acre. From the moment you walk up to the entrance, you can tell the homeowners did not overlook any detail. The lush landscaping is filled with flowering shrubs and perennials to yield a summer-long cutting garden! The covered front porch welcomes you into the large, open living room with rustic wood flooring and features a rough-hewn fireplace surround with concrete hearth, wood mantle, and gas logs. The huge cook’s kitchen offers generous counter space and cabinets; all stainless-steel appliances featuring a double oven and high-end refrigerator with double freezer drawers; ogee-edge countertops, deep sink, and accent lighting to brighten your workspace. The kitchen has an island with bar-height seating, and opens to the sizable dining room, which overlooks the expansive screened porch. Off the dining area is a convenient laundry room with a folding counter and built-in ironing board. Three bedrooms, including the master ensuite and another full bath with jetted tub, round out the main level. The recently finished full basement will check all of your boxes: large rec room for family movie night, dedicated playroom for the kiddos, unfinished mechanical room with space for extra storage, finished storage room for all your seasonal items, huge bedroom with walk-in closet, full bathroom with tile stand-up shower, and—if that wasn’t enough—a man cave complete with barnwood paneling and closet with utility sink. While the inside of the inside of the home has a huge wow factor, you will certainly spend much of your time taking advantage of the gorgeous outdoor areas. With a vaulted ceiling and curved metal balusters, ceiling fan, and recessed lighting, the screened porch makes an ideal quiet retreat or fun entertaining space for your guests; it is made even better with a gorgeous view of the woods behind the home, which can also be enjoyed from the 12’x21’ deck. The backyard has space for kids to play, or even a small hobby farm since you are outside the city limits. The stunning established landscaping with rock base for the beds and low block retaining wall make maintenance a breeze. Just three years ago, the homeowner replaced the siding, soffits, gutters, and windows. The roof was new in 2013. The landscaping and deck were added in 2018 and the screened porch got a new floor in 2020.
