Tucked away on a beautifully wooded 1.4-acre homesite in Chesapeake Ranch Estates, this inviting Colonial offers the space, privacy, and lifestyle so many buyers are searching for, while still being just a pleasant stroll from your very own waterfront shoreline on Lake Lariat where you can fish from shore or launch your kayak or canoe. Step onto the welcoming front porch and into a classic layout designed for both comfort and entertaining. The formal living room features hardwood floors, crown molding, and a cozy fireplace with built-ins, an ideal spot to unwind. The formal dining room connects seamlessly for gatherings and opens through French doors to the outdoor living space, perfect for grilling, relaxing, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The kitchen offers warm oak cabinetry, pantry storage, a built-in desk area, deep sink, and a charming garden window that brings in natural light. A main-level laundry room adds everyday convenience. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite includes a walk-in closet and an en-suite bath with double vanity, ceramic tile, jetted soaking tub, and separate shower. Additional good-sized bedrooms and a full hall bath complete the upper level. The finished basement expands your options with a large recreation/family room, ceramic tile flooring, and a wet bar/kitchenette with cabinets, sink, refrigerator, and separate freezer, ideal for movie nights, game days, or multi-generational flexibility. You’ll also find a den/safe-room style space, a full bath with shower, and a walk-out to the hardscape patio and side yard. Outside, the home is thoughtfully landscaped with flowering trees and vibrant blooms, creating a true “getaway at home” feel. Practical upgrades include a newer architectural roof with 50-year shingles, LeafFilter gutter protection with transferable warranty, an 80-gallon water heater, and a 20 seer high-efficiency HVAC system (approx. 3–5 years). Recent improvements also include fresh paint on all three levels, new carpet on the stairs and third floor, luxury vinyl plank flooring in the kitchen/dining/laundry areas, and updated stainless appliances (microwave, washer, refrigerator). Inside the one-car garage, you'll find a generator panel with a convenient hookup to plug in the Generac generator, which adds peace of mind. Enjoy all that Chesapeake Ranch Estates has to offer—private airport, clubhouse, campgrounds, community gardens, trails, Lake Lariat, plus Driftwood Beach and Seahorse Beach on the Chesapeake Bay.
