Description

WOW! GORGEOUS Updated Home on 3 Acres that could be featured on HGTV! This home has been beautifully updated inside and out...With 4-bedrooms and 3 full baths, this home feels like NEW and sits on 3 peaceful acres in DeWitt, with Grand Ledge Schools.
The main floor features an open layout with loads of natural light and warm hardwood floors throughout. The kitchen is stunning with quartz countertops, new stainless appliances (yes, even a pot filler!), a huge island, tons of cabinet space, and room to spread out. There's a cozy living room with a fireplace, a formal dining area with built-in shelves that double as a library, and a spacious main-floor primary suite with a large walk-in closet and full bath that has been completely updated. Upstairs, you'll find three more bedrooms, a full bath, and even a reading nook at the top of the stairs--the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee while watching the sunrise.
The home is loaded with charm (check out the barn doors!), and the updates are extensive--new siding, new roof, windows, flooring, kitchen, baths, trim, reverse osmosis drinking water system, smart thermostat, Blink security system... The list of updates goes on.
The outdoor space is just as dreamy, with a large deck, fresh landscaping, firepit area, and a freshly updated 3-car detached garage. And who can forget this covered front porch! It's the perfect place to sit in your rocking chair or porch swing and sip on lemonade while watching the sunset views into the west. It's perfect for entertaining or relaxing and watching the deer stroll through the yard.
The location is wonderful, you are in the country, but only 10 minutes to downtown DeWitt or Delta Township is just a quick hop to the highway. This home is modern, welcoming, and move-in ready. It's a very rare opportunity to find such an updated home with acreage and outbuilding at this price point!
