Real Estate is all about location, and 3 Black Oak Trail is ideally located in sought-after Oakwood Lakes, on one of the prettiest trails in the neighborhood! Perfectly set back from the road situated on a .41 acre lot - note that the lot extends on the left well beyond the fenced in area. There are 5 generous bedrooms, 2 full baths, 1 powder room, this stunning home has been beautifully maintained, thoughtfully updated, and is truly move-in ready. As you approach, take note of the exceptional curb appeal. The siding was replaced in 2015, the roof in 2023, and nearly all windows have been replaced with double-hung, thermopane windows. A front-entry garage is complemented by a spacious driveway offering parking for approximately 6-8 additional cars. Step inside the welcoming foyer, where beautiful hardwood floors immediately set the tone-hardwood can be found in nearly every room of the home. To the right, the generously sized 17 x 12 living room features three front-facing windows and attractive built-in bookcases. Adjacent is the formal dining room, which overlooks the rear yard and features an attractive light fixture that will remain. The dining room flows seamlessly into the gourmet kitchen, a wonderful space for both everyday living and entertaining. Sliding glass door leads to the 17 x 15 deck where there is an access panel to the water treatment system. The kitchen features abundant oak cabinetry, granite countertops, and an island/breakfast bar for four stools. The full appliance package includes a self-cleaning gas range, built-in microwave, dishwasher, and refrigerator. A rear hallway leads to the family room and includes a large closet currently used as a coat closet, but easily converted to a pantry. A charming powder room features tile flooring, white fixtures, and beadboard walls. Beyond is the impressive 22 x 12 family room, featuring wood laminate flooring, a lighted ceiling fan, and a wood-burning brick fireplace-perfect for cozy evenings at home. Windows are dressed in attractive wood blinds. A passage door leads to the laundry room, where the washer and dryer are included, along with a laundry sink. This area also houses the natural gas heater, central air conditioning, and water heater. Another large closet is currently used as a pantry but could easily serve as a coat closet or additional storage. A door from the laundry room leads to the oversized garage, complete with a newer Clopay garage door and electric opener. A refrigerator is also included AS IS-an especially convenient feature when entertaining large groups! And then there is the wonderful screened porch, tucked into the rear of the home and enveloped by a beautiful living fence. Imagine relaxing here with a good book or enjoying an evening with friends. A passage door leads to the 25 x 10 brick patio, creating even more outdoor living space. Now for the upper level! Ascending the stairs, you'll find the spacious primary bedroom to the left, complete with a primary bath addition. The bedroom features two front-facing windows dressed in blinds, an additional side window, carpeting, and a walk-in closet. The refreshed primary bath offers tile flooring and a tub/shower combination. Four additional bedrooms complete the upper level, all featuring gorgeous hardwood floors, replacement windows, and walls painted in soothing, neutral tones.
