About this property

A true nature retreat in beloved Lake Marcel, this beautifully updated one-story ranch style home feels tucked away in its own quiet world of gardens, birdsong, and year-round blooms. Just one easy front step brings you inside, with large windows bringing natural light to the open living areas, 3 bedrooms, 1.75 baths, a full guest bath near the kitchen, and a primary bath with walk-in shower. Thoughtful interior updates include beautifully modern kitchen and baths in 2024, fresh interior paint, and new luxury laminate hardwood flooring throughout. New roof and attic, as well as a freshly cleaned crawlspace, done just this last March, and updated double pane storm windows in 2019. A natural gas generator brings peace of mind in any weather. Outdoors, the property becomes a private garden escape, with a full-length back deck, a lovely fire pit to gather round, a greenhouse for year round flowers and vegetables, and a gorgeous pergola draped in string lights! Stone and pebble trails wind through beautiful trees, with bird houses for chickadees and robins, and a lovely cement bird bath fountain is a bird watchers delight! Find sun or shade somewhere in the garden any time of day, and stop at two hidden little garden decks for meditative pleasure. Lake Marcel Park is within easy walking distance and hosts community events throughout the year, including the 4th of July! An inspection report is available, as well as a link page for the Lake Marcel Community Club!
