Tucked into a peaceful, wooded setting on 2.7 acres, this inviting Colonial offers a rare blend of privacy and natural beauty, along with access to Lake Michigan through the desirable Stickney Woods. With over 2,600 sq ft, this 3-bed, 2.5-bath home features thoughtfully designed living spaces that balance comfort and functionality. As you step inside, you’re welcomed into a bright living room anchored by a striking, darker-toned fireplace that adds warmth and character. Large windows fill the space with natural light, and the layout flows seamlessly into the dining area, creating an ideal setting for both everyday living and entertaining. From there, the home opens into the large, updated kitchen, where generous quartz countertops, rich cabinetry, and a spacious island provide both style and function. The kitchen transitions effortlessly into the family room, offering a comfortable gathering space with a 2nd gas fireplace and an inviting atmosphere. French sliding doors lead you into one of the home’s most impressive features, the extended living area. This stunning space is defined by soaring cathedral ceilings and a dramatic wall of windows that flood the room with natural light and showcase the surrounding wooded landscape. It’s a true retreat within the home, perfect for relaxing or hosting larger gatherings. Additional sliding doors extend the living space outdoors to a patio area, ideal for enjoying the serene setting. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a peaceful and private retreat, featuring vaulted ceilings, soft natural light, and a spacious layout that feels both open and relaxing. Thoughtful architectural details, including angled ceilings and cozy window nooks, add character while creating inviting spaces to unwind. The en-suite bath has been beautifully updated with a clean, modern look, featuring a warm wood vanity, sleek fixtures, and a stunning tiled walk-in shower with a glass enclosure. The finishes strike a perfect balance between contemporary style and everyday comfort. A unique overlook connects the upper level to the home’s main living area below, enhancing the sense of openness while maintaining separation and privacy. 2 additional bedrooms are well-sized and filled with natural light, complemented by an updated bathroom with cohesive, modern finishes. The lower level is your canvas, offering endless potential for additional living space, recreation, or customization to fit your needs. Outside, multiple gathering areas, including a patio with space for seating, a fire pit and a decor pond, create the perfect environment for entertaining or unwinding in nature.
