Some homes put you near the water. 501 Lake Avenue makes it part of your everyday routine. Start the morning w/ coffee on the expansive front porch overlooking Ash Creek, launch a kayak from the end of the street, & come home in time for a drink as the sun sets over the water. Inside, hardwood floors extend through much of the first floor, including the living, bedroom, & dining room. Just beyond, the renovated kitchen features soft-close white Shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, & stainless-steel appliances. Off the living room, a light-filled bonus room offers flexibility as an office, sitting room, or den, w/ direct access to a private backyard framed by lush greenery and privacy fencing, plus a patio for dining, entertaining, & relaxing outdoors. A first-floor bedroom & renovated full bath w/ a porcelain-tiled tub & shower along w/ a shiplap wall complete the main level. Upstairs, the second bedroom becomes its own private retreat, with a separate hallway offering space for an office, reading area, or dressing space. Central air, natural gas heat, a detached garage, and a level .17-acre lot add everyday convenience.
