5401 Carpenter Road SE

Enjoy Pattison Lake breezes on this .837 acre corner lot across from waterfront homes. Original owner 1-story 1995 rambler hits the sweet spot of space and simplicity. Just 5 minutes away for boating/swimming/fishing access to THREE lakes: Pattison Lake, Long Lake & Hicks Lake. The long, level driveway is set back from the road & opens where you have breathing room, a 4br septic for future expansion or ADU, plus a big fenced section with 2 gates ready for pets, hobbies, or extra parking. No HOA here, so projects, gardens or future ideas are your decision. Elegant arched doorways & windows immediately give personality as you enter this home, then vaulted ceilings expand the living room around a gas fireplace that becomes the natural gathering point. Hardwood flooring carries through the main areas & into a kitchen with island seating, newer electric range/oven & views of trees all around. Formal & casual spaces stay distinct but connected thanks to the circular layout, great for gatherings without the noise stacking into one spot. The primary bedroom sits privately with its own full bathroom & walk in closet, while a skylight brightens the hall bath. Major systems already updated with NEW furnace and NEW water heater plus it's pre-wired for security & fire monitoring service if you want it. Close to services & eateries, with Costco or Trader Joe’s 15 minutes away. Near-lake easy one-level living that adapts to every stage of life & still leaves room to grow!
