This lot fronts Talona Lake, a peaceful, spring-fed lake, offering opportunities for fishing, kayaking, and quiet enjoyment of the water. Home features spacious rooms and a thoughtful design that come together beautifully. Including: 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, a dedicated home office, and a large adjoining flex room ideal for overflow sleeping, hobbies, exercise, or additional living space. The open-concept main level features soaring 10-foot ceilings, luxury vinyl plank flooring, crown molding, recessed lighting, and a stunning double-sided wood-burning fireplace currently fitted with gas logs for added convenience. The chef's kitchen is designed to impress with a massive island, granite countertops, apron-front sink, soft-close cabinetry, generous pantry storage, and black stainless KitchenAid appliances.
