Morning coffee on a covered deck, overlooking your own private pond with a fountain and a backdrop of trees. That's everyday life in this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath ranch in the sought-after Villas at Lake Blackthorn. With 1,502 square feet on the main level and 1,150 more finished below, you'll enjoy over 2,650 square feet of beautifully maintained living space. Step inside to high ceilings, crown molding, and plantation shutters throughout an open floor plan built for easy living. The living room is anchored by a cozy fireplace, while the kitchen shines with tile, crisp white cabinetry, pendant lighting, and an island with barstool seating for casual meals. Sliding glass doors lead straight to the deck and backyard. When it's time to host, the formal dining room easily seats eight or more. The primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a large closet and an en-suite bath with dual-sink vanity, soaking tub, and separate glass-door shower. Main-floor laundry sits conveniently off the attached 2-car garage. Downstairs, the finished lower level offers large windows, a wet bar, and a half bath, ready for movie nights, game days, or guests. An unfinished area provides abundant storage. The big-ticket items are already done: newer roof, HVAC, driveway, and carpet. Peaceful water views, a cul-de-sac setting, and move-in-ready updates make this one you'll want to see soon!
