About 1609 1st Ave NE
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! One of the few homes in town offering both Convenience to East Side Lake and stunning lake views, this charming and truly move-in ready property exudes pride of ownership. Every detail has been carefully considered, from the professionally landscaped yard with two newer decks overlooking the lake, to the high-quality upgrades throughout the home. The modern kitchen features quartz countertops, a tile backsplash, and a sleek new range hood with LED lighting. New flooring, including engineered hardwood and tile, complements the brand-new carpet just added to the upstairs bedroom. Five stylish bi-fold doors, installed in November 2024, were professionally finished with premium Benjamin Moore paint. The main bathroom has been fully gutted and completely remodeled with a quartz double vanity and all-new fixtures. The super clean, dry basement boasts upgraded stairs with engineered hardwood, aluminum accents, and white cove moulding. A new, energy-efficient water heater was installed in February 2025, and the furnace has been meticulously serviced to run better than new. Additional features include main floor laundry, updated 200-amp electrical service, and a new sub-panel in the large oversized garage. The siding has been hand-washed annually and looks brand new, with added insulation for improved efficiency. The attention to detail and pride of ownership in this home is truly impressive. Move in today and relax tomorrow—everything has already been thoughtfully taken care of for you. A full list of improvements is in the documents. Interior photos are scheduled.
