Perched high on the hill in the sought-after Cedar-Isles-Dean neighborhood, this distinctive Tuscan-inspired home offers character, privacy and exciting potential just steps from Cedar Lake and Lake of the Isles. The flexible layout features two upper-level bedrooms, plus a spacious lower-level bedroom with an en suite full bath and soaking tub. With a full bathroom on every level and 1,924 finished square feet, there is ample space for guests, a home office or additional living space. Burnished plaster walls and ceilings add warmth and European character, while the expansive south-facing primary bedroom features soaring ceilings and abundant natural light. The kitchen offers an exciting opportunity to open the space to the adjoining living areas and create a more modern floor plan. Since taking ownership, the sellers have completed extensive landscaping, painted the house, garage and gazebo, replaced the majority of the windows, installed new double rear doors, added a backyard privacy fence, created an additional parking pad and added the lower-level full bathroom. Surrounded by homes that have recently sold at substantially higher price points, this property offers compelling potential to update, personalize and build equity. Mature gardens and a newly rebuilt gazebo create a serene backyard retreat near scenic lake paths, parks, dining and shopping.
