Welcome to the best of both worlds—timeless 1920s architecture thoughtfully modernized for today’s lifestyle. This turnkey colonial offers an open, flowing floor plan rarely found in homes of this era, blending classic charm with modern comfort. A new brick paver walkway leads you to a 25x8 covered front porch, which sets a refined first impression and provides an inviting space to enjoy your morning coffee. Inside, the original architectural details pair beautifully with modern updates. The cozy, original fireplace anchors the space of the large living room and seamlessly flows into the expansive eat-in kitchen featuring granite counters, custom cabinets, and a movable island; perfect for cooking and entertaining. Off the kitchen is a formal dining room along with a versatile flex space that can easily serve as a home office, sitting area, or children’s playroom. Upstairs, the private primary suite offers an en-suite bath w/double sinks and an oversized 11x10 walk-in closet, while two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill full bath. The basement is a blank canvas ready to be tailored to your needs, with an existing finished room perfect for a home gym or hobby space. Enjoy your evening wine on the beautiful covered side porch that leads to an enormous, fully fenced-in backyard featuring a patio area, shed w/electricity, bonfire pit, and an oversized 2.5-car garage with convenient overhead storage. Truly turnkey, with all major systems replaced within the last 7–10 years; including the roof, furnace, central air, tankless water heater, windows, and flooring. A home this extensively updated on a lot this size is rare for this area– and the cherry on top is the (optional) $60/year HOA, which allows access to the beautiful private Watkins Lake beach/picnic areas/boat launch. Enjoy the lake lifestyle without the lakefront price tag! Close to parks, schools, restaurants, shopping, and offers easy freeway access. THIS is what you've been waiting for! Here's your sign!
