Rightsizing without giving up the good stuff. This brick home has no staircase anywhere, so laundry, groceries, and overnight bags all travel on one level. It's just 5 years old, so the roof and major systems are not on your worry list. Behind the gates of this 55+ neighborhood of 19 homes at Shawnee Country Club, the pace is quiet, and the neighbors are friendly but not nosy. A scenic path circles the community, lined with greenbelt and lush landscaping, and passes the koi pond and clubhouse/safe room. The monthly fee is a luxury of its own: lawn and landscaping, irrigation, trash, and snow removal, all overseen by the developer who lives on-site. No mower, no shovel, no Saturdays lost to the yard. You have earned a true lock-and-leave home, free to travel to see the people and places you love without a worry about the house. Inside, wood floors and a vaulted ceiling open to a granite kitchen with a gas range and a breakfast bar that keeps the cook in the conversation. The dining area has room when the holiday meal needs to spread out a little. The primary suite is built for slow mornings, with a sitting area, tray ceiling, walk-in closet, and a jetted tub the owners call awesome. Step out to your own covered patio, which opens from both the suite and the dining area. It sits on the cooler east side, so morning coffee gets the sunrise and evening drinks sip without the squint. Two more bedrooms handle guests, hobbies, or a home office, and the floor safe in a secondary bedroom stays. Come December, the neighborhood glows with holiday lights. Be sure to see the interactive 3D tour and video to walk through it for yourself, and then make plans to see it in person.
