Property Description

Built with care and ahead of its time, this custom ranch home sits on a wooded lot in the River Shore neighborhood of Buchanan Township. It has a walk-out lower level, four garage spaces, and more closets and storage than you will find in almost any home on the market. Quality shows throughout: six-panel solid wood doors, wood trim, crown molding, custom built-ins, and solar light tubes that bring natural light into the interior. The open main level is built around a great room with a wood-burning fireplace, stone veneer surround, stone mantle, and a custom corner built-in for the TV. The dining area flows into the kitchen. The kitchen has ceramic tile, Corian countertops, a double oven, appliance storage, a breakfast bar, and a built-in desk area. Large windows look out over the backyard. Next to the kitchen sits a family room with corner built-in cabinet, and a slider to the back deck. The primary suite has a lighted tray ceiling with crown molding and custom window cornices. Its private bath has a glass-door shower and two carpeted walk-in closets with built-in shelving. Two more main-floor bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath. The office has a vaulted ceiling and a stunning arch window. Main-floor laundry with a half bath sits just off the garage entry. Storage is everywhere you look. There are generous closets on every level, and the lower level adds even more room with built-in shelving. The walk-out lower level has 9-foot ceilings, a wet bar, full bath, workshop, and bonus room with a closet that is ready for guests. The lower level can also be reached directly from the garage. The attached garage includes a 32x20 two-car space, a separate 23x13 third bay, and an extra garage under the home with its own overhead door, which is ideal for a boat, mower, or workshop toys. Extra features include a whole-house Guardian generator, Trane HVAC system, two Rheem water heaters (2024), Rheem water softener, LeafFilter gutter guards, and a front-yard sprinkler system. The home is in the Buchanan Community Schools district, where eligible graduates can receive college tuition support through the Buchanan Promise scholarship program. It is minutes from downtown Buchanan's shops and restaurants, Clear Lake Woods, Fernwood Botanical Garden, and the St. Joseph River. Lake Michigan beaches, South Bend, and Notre Dame are an easy drive away. PLEASE USE CAUTION WHEN SHOWING. Do not enter the deck. The owners are in the process of repairing it.
