Nearly 3 acres - Private pond - Your own peninsula. If you've been waiting for something different this is it! This one-of-a-kind property offers a mix of open land, mature trees, and a shared private pond with space to fish, relax, and enjoy the outdoors right in your backyard. The standout? A peninsula that stretches into the water, giving you your own slice of shoreline and a setting you won't find in a typical home search. So many standout interior updates! The gorgeous kitchen steals the show with modern finishes, stylish cabinetry, all stainless steel appliances, large center island, quartz countertops and a clean, fresh feel that's move-in ready from day one. Wildlife, water views, and room to spread out-without giving up convenience. You're still just minutes from shopping, dining, and everyday essentials. Plenty of space for your boat, trailer, work truck, or toys, plus a detached 2.5-car garage and additional shed for storage. Estate zoning offers flexibility for hobbies like beekeeping or more (buyer to verify). No flood insurance required. Homes like this don't come around often especially at this price!
