WELCOME TO YOUR OWN PRIVATE RESORT IN THE WOODS!  Tucked away on a breathtaking .97-acre lot in desirable Santino's Subdivision, this stunning brick and cedar bi-level offers far more than a home-it offers a lifestyle. Surrounded by towering trees, colorful flowers, mature landscaping, and magazine-worthy gardens, every inch of this property has been thoughtfully designed to create a peaceful retreat you'll never want to leave. The centerpiece of this incredible setting is the private 14x28 6-foot in-ground heated swimming pool, complete with a slide and a surrounding fence, an expanded, oversized deck, a screened-in porch, and two fire pits, making it the ultimate backyard destination for endless summer fun and unforgettable gatherings.  With 2,716 square feet of usable living space, 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, living, dining, family, and bonus rooms, and a 2.5-car garage, there's room for everyone both inside and out.  Located just minutes from the chain of lakes, this wooded and private setting offers a rare combination of tranquility and convenience.  Step inside and be greeted by soaring vaulted ceilings, skylights, and walls of windows that flood the home with natural sunlight. Rich maple hardwood flooring spans the main level while the open-concept design creates a seamless flow between living spaces. The dramatic two-sided floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace shared between the living room and kitchen, accented by beautiful beam ceilings, serves as a stunning centerpiece of the home.  The gourmet kitchen was designed for gathering, featuring an abundance of custom cabinetry, an oversized center island, an additional eating area, and spectacular views overlooking the backyard oasis and pool. Just beyond, the beautiful 16x12 sunroom currently serves as the dining room, creating a bright and cheerful setting where nature becomes part of every meal.  The spacious primary suite offers a beautifully remodeled luxury bathroom completed in 2025. Additional improvements include a remodeled second full bathroom in 2023, a roof in 2018, a furnace and central air in 2021, and a new sump pump, backup system, and ejector pump installed in 2026 for added peace of mind.  The lower level is equally impressive, highlighted by a spectacular 15x22 family room featuring a commanding floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace, English-level windows that invite abundant natural light, and convenient walkout access. Also located on this level is a versatile 10x23 bonus room perfect for a home office, fitness room, craft studio, playroom, or hobby area. Plenty of storage. Another of the home's unique features is the custom-built walk-out, front living room wooden deck completed in 2023, adding charm, character, and additional living enjoyment unlike anything else on the market.  Outdoor living is simply extraordinary. Enjoy summer afternoons by the pool, any-time-of-year evenings gathered around one of two fire pits, relaxing on the welcoming 6x24 deck, or serving a meal in the impressive 12x24 screened porch while taking in the beauty of your nearly one-acre private retreat.  Rarely does a home combine such a spectacular setting, exceptional updates, resort-style amenities, and everyday comfort into one unforgettable package. This is more than a home-it's a lifestyle that will be enjoyed for years to come.
