Tucked into a quiet, wooded corner of the Railside Golf Community, this 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath two-story pairs country-club living with real privacy. Built by Kilgore for the 1991 Parade of Homes, it has been cared for by the same owners for over 30 years. A covered front porch with brick accents leads into a bright tiled foyer with an oak staircase. The two-story family room is the heart of the home. It has a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace, built-in shelving, skylights, and tall windows that frame the trees. The open kitchen has cherry cabinetry, solid-surface counters, a center island with seating, a gas range, and a stainless dishwasher. It flows into a dining nook under a dramatic arched window that looks out to the woods. Formal living and dining rooms with crown molding, a powder room, and main-floor laundry with a mudroom bench round out the main level. Upstairs, an open balcony overlooks the family room. The primary suite has a tray ceiling, a large custom walk-in closet, and a private bath with a skylight, jetted soaking tub, separate shower, and arched window. Three more bedrooms include one with a vaulted ceiling and arched window, ideal as an office or gym. A full bath serves this level. The finished daylight lower level has fresh, light flooring and plenty of room to spread out. You get a media/family room, a game area with a bar, a fifth bedroom, a full bath, and generous storage. Out back, the two-tiered deck has a covered gazebo for shaded dining. Below it there's a gravel fire pit area, a fenced section of the yard, and a canopy of mature trees. Kent Trails is just beyond the lot line, so you can bike to the zoo or into Byron Center. Other features include an attached 3-stall garage with attic storage, professional landscaping, underground sprinklers, central air, city water and sewer, and Byron Center Schools.
