One of a kind

This three-bedroom home with two-and-a-half baths has plenty of curbside appeal. Shutters, a front deck that expands the length of the house, a stone-bordered flower bed and a landscaped area between the home and garage add to its charm.

The home, in Meier Lake subdivision, is near a stocked lake and has a spot for a small boat. No two houses are alike in this 26-home community. Close to Highway 72, the home is not far from Jackson shopping and is in the Jackson School District.

A combined kitchen and dining area measures 28 by 14 feet, with plenty of oak cabinetry with drawers, a lazy Susan and a window above the sink. A pantry in the kitchen and a separate walk-in pantry allow lots of opportunities for stocking up.

A flat cooktop with microwave oven above is handy. An island at the center of the kitchen will seat three and has storage and an electrical outlet.

Paned double doors lead to the roomy outside deck, extending entertaining options. The backyard is picturesque. The yard is fairly level and includes a creek.

The hallway near to the kitchen accesses the laundry room and extended two-car garage, which has an exterior door and pull-down access to storage above.

The laundry room is equipped with a folding table and plenty of shelving.

The spacious living room is 28 by 15 feet. The oak mantle at the fireplace complements the lustrous hardwood flooring. Ornate wood design, an oblong mirror and brick hearth combine for an outstanding look.

The nearby open staircase, carpeted at the center, leads to a loft area perfect for a playroom, office or hobby room. Enhanced by a window, the area offers a cozy hideaway. Textured carpeting in a neutral shade adds subtle interest. Both upstairs bedrooms have double closets.

A split-bedroom floor plan offers a private master bedroom on the main level. Sculpted carpeting and a view of the front yard add to its appeal. An adjoining bathroom has a walk-in closet and includes a corner Jacuzzi encased in oak cabinetry. The tub has a window above. The shower is complete with a custom seat.

The unfinished basement enables potential homeowners to create their own space. The area is framed out with a partially finished bathroom. Another garage on this level has an overhead door to make space for another vehicle, lawn equipment or boat. Outside this door is a concrete patio.

Double doors open out to a covered patio below the upstairs deck.
