Description

Lakefront living defines this custom-built 3-bedroom ranch at the secluded end of a Forest Meadows lake shared by a limited number of residences. With no lakefront homes directly across the water, the setting is unusually private. Built in 1977 by the family that developed Forest Meadows, the home offers 2,640 sq. ft. on a wooded 0.81-acre lot. A dramatic vaulted rear addition spans the main living area, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the lake and a wood-burning fireplace. The reconfigured first floor offers flexible living, dining, work and gathering spaces. The kitchen features granite countertops, custom hickory cabinetry with pull-outs and a large eat-in island with storage. Stained-glass double doors separate the foyer and dining room, while a lake-view office with custom built-ins can also serve as a family room. The master suite has two walk-in closets and a large private bath with dual vanities and an oversized steam shower. An elevated 20x19 deck overlooks the mature yard and lake, and paths wind through extensive landscaping to the private dock. Additional features include an expansive laundry/mudroom; numerous closets; gated side garden with raised beds; stone-lined runoff stream; lake-fed irrigation; low-voltage landscape lighting; and a fenced front courtyard (24x14) with a covered porch (24x6) and pavers over concrete. The insulated, heated garage has an epoxy floor, utility sink, 12x6 side storage area and a full staircase providing walk-up access to the spacious, floored attic. Improvements include: Bryant 927 furnace (2026); hot water tank (2025); fences (2023); deck and house painted (2021); garage door and Gutter Toppers (2020); dock and paver walkways (2019); carpeting (2018); deck replacement (2017); soffits/fascia (2014); and luxury composition roof (2008). The lot touches Reagan Park; a nearby walkway accesses the park and Northrop Elementary. Other Medina schools, the rec center, parks, pool and shopping are also a short walk away.
