PORTAGE LAKES LIVING WITHOUT THE OLD-HOUSE HEADACHES! This is the one buyers wait for -- a fully updated 2006-built home in Coventry Local Schools, just a short walk from the water, offering the lake-area lifestyle without the constant projects that often come with older homes. This move-in-ready 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath colonial brings the energy from the moment you walk in. Bright natural light, fresh modern finishes, updated flooring, and inviting living spaces create the perfect setup for relaxing, entertaining, and everyday life. The great room connects comfortably with the dining area and a standout kitchen featuring quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a clean, stylish design. Upstairs, the primary suite delivers a private retreat feel with a walk-in closet and en-suite bath featuring a jacuzzi tub and an independent shower. Three additional bedrooms give you the flexibility buyers love -- space for guests, family, or home office. The full basement offers excellent storage now, with potential to be finished for additional living space, a rec room, gym, office, or hobby area. Outside, the home continues to impress with multiple spaces to enjoy the Portage Lakes lifestyle. The covered front porch creates a welcoming spot to unwind, while the back deck is ideal for grilling, outdoor dining, hosting friends, or relaxing after a day near the water. An attached 2-car garage and wide driveway give you the extra parking space that is perfect for guests, extra vehicles, or lake toys. Minutes from Portage Lakes State Park, boat launches, local dining, and the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail, this home offers a rare combination: newer construction, major updates, modern finishes, and a prime Portage Lakes location. Clean, updated, spacious, and close to the water -- this is lake-area living done right! Don't miss your chance to own a turnkey home in one of the area's most sought-after recreational communities.
