About This Home

Welcome Home to this exceptional residence tucked away in the highly sought-after Academy Woods community! Perfectly positioned on a premium wooded corner lot in a quiet cul-de-sac, this home offers both tranquility and access to nature with nearby Middlefork Savanna-a stunning natural preserve featuring walking trails, wildlife, and wetlands once part of a glacial lake. Enjoy Academy Woods HOA-provided services including professional landscaping, weekly lawn care, mulching, seasonal cleanups, annual gutter cleaning, exterior maintenance, and even snow removal. Step inside and you're greeted by gleaming hardwood floors, soaring volume ceilings, and an abundance of natural light. The Great Room is the heart of the home-spacious enough for entertaining a crowd or relaxing with family, and lined with large picture windows framing serene outdoor views. The cozy fireplace is a dream on those cool evenings. The adjacent dining room is ready for your next dinner party, complete with a dry bar for easy entertaining. The kitchen is a chef's dream-featuring 42" upper wood cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a built-in tech station, and ample workspace. The mudroom/laundry area impresses with style and functionality. On the main level, find a flexible guest suite or office, with adjacent full bathroom so convenient. The main level also has your Primary Suite. The Primary Suite offers a spa-like en suite with dual vanities, a jacuzzi tub, and a separate shower. Upstairs, a spacious stylish loft with built-in shelving and two generous bedrooms share a full bath. The finished basement is another showstopper-offering a large rec room and full bathroom. Perfect for a media room, game zone, or cozy retreat! Plus, there's an oversized storage space for all your extras. Additional highlights include a new dishwasher, dual water heaters, alarm system, and in-ground programmable sprinkler system. Enjoy grilling season with the gas BBQ line on the terrace. Come experience the ease, beauty, and comfort of Academy Woods living-this home truly has it all!
