This beautifully updated, brick Georgian home is just a short distance from Lake Michigan in the highly desirable Villa Turicum neighborhood! Located on just under an acre of partially wooded, professionally landscaped grounds, this wonderful home features all new bathrooms, a gourmet kitchen, refinished hardwood floors, updated millwork throughout, a newer (2021) cedar shake roof, a new bluestone patio w/ pergola & new enlarged koi pond, and generous room sizes. There are 6 bedrooms in total - 5 on the 2nd floor and 1 in the basement - and the 5 bedrooms upstairs each have an ensuite bathroom. The Primary Suite's large walk-in closet was expanded by the current homeowners to incorporate a 2nd floor laundry. The gourmet kitchen & breakfast room feature high-end appliances (Viking Professional 6-burner range w/ double ovens, Sub Zero refrigerator, Fisher-Paykel dishwasher drawers), a huge island w/ multiple seating, tons of counter space, skylights, and a wall of windows overlooking the fabulous patio & backyard. The family room features a lovely fireplace, built-ins, and a new wet bar. The large, formal living room has plenty of space for a piano or multiple seating areas. The updated office is right off the living room and provides privacy, comfort, and lovely views of the backyard & koi pond. Upstairs, there is a large space above the garage w/ an ensuite bath that can be a 5th bedroom or a bonus room. The basement has a large playroom/2nd family room w/ fireplace, a 6th bedroom, a large recreation room w/ new luxury vinyl flooring, storage space, laundry, and a full bathroom. Outside, the stunning grounds feature a fully fenced backyard, a new bluestone patio w/ pergola, seating walls and plenty of room for a fire pit and grill, a lovely koi pond, a Rain Bird irrigation system, and lots of mature trees. The home also has a deep, 3-car garage w/ room for storage. Move right in and enjoy this fabulous home!
