Peaceful on Peterson - Welcome to your next chapter, a beautifully refreshed modern home nestled on a private wooded lot with Sanford Lake access and NO lake assessment, granting you lakeside enjoyment without the added financial burden that typically accompanies waterfront living. The property provides enough room and with township permission already in place, you can add a pole barn for all those fun water toys! Perfectly located within 10 minutes from Midland shopping and 20 minutes from the Downtown Midland fun; this striking 4 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom residence blends sleek contemporary architecture with thoughtful updates that make it genuinely move-in ready from day one. Step inside and you will immediately notice the brand-new flooring and fresh paint flowing seamlessly throughout every room, creating a clean and inviting atmosphere from the moment you cross through the striking new front door. The living room anchors the home with a natural fireplace that adds warmth and character to everyday gatherings, while an additional family room provides even more space for relaxation or quality time with loved ones. The kitchen has been outfitted with new appliances installed in 2023, transforming meal preparation from a daily obligation into something you might actually look forward to. The 4th bedroom offers a world of possibilities if you don't need the extra bedroom - envision a home office, a dedicated workout studio, or a cozy four-seasons room perfect for soaking in those wooded views throughout every month of the year. With almost 2,000 sqft of space, you have plenty of room to add an additional bathroom to create a luxury primary suite! The quality of the recent upgrades here truly speaks for itself. A brand-new roof, freshly painted exterior, and bold black gutters combine to deliver serious curb appeal alongside the kind of lasting durability that keeps maintenance worries at bay for years to come. This home was built with substance in mind, and the recent improvements only reinforce that solid foundation. Storage enthusiasts will be delighted to discover an abundance of attic space stretching above both the larger two-and-a-half-car attached garage and the entire home. If attic space isn't a necessity for you, turn that space into a loft for extra living space! Step outside and the private wooded lot continues to impress. A spacious deck and patio sit surrounded by mature trees, creating an ideal setting for entertaining friends, hosting weekend cookouts, or simply unwinding in the peaceful embrace of nature after a long day. Homes that combine this level of thoughtful craftsmanship, recent updates, and natural privacy in such a desirable neighborhood rarely linger on the market for long. Schedule your private showing today and discover first hand what makes this property a truly unforgettable find.

Sanford's Most Recognizable House Has a Few Surprises Inside If you've driven through Sanford more than once, you already know this house. It's the mint green one. The kind of mint green that doesn't apologize for itself, that you can spot from two streets over, that has probably been a landmark in someone's directions at some point ("turn left at the green house, you can't miss it"). And you can't. But here's what you don't know unless you've been inside. She's had a lot of love poured back into her recently. Fresh paint, newer flooring, and enough little touches to make her feel genuinely special instead of just memorable from the curb. The living room is the kind of large that actually became a problem for me. I have staging tricks. I have ways of making smaller rooms look bigger and bigger rooms look intentional. This room laughed at all of them. It is enormous, the kind of space where you stop thinking about furniture placement and start thinking about what kind of life you want to live in it. Movie nights with too many people. A piano you've always wanted. A reading corner that doesn't feel cramped into an afterthought. There's room for all of it and then some. Past that, you've got over 1,700 square feet, 3 bedrooms, and a bathroom so cheerful it matches the personality of the exterior. Apparently the vibrancy doesn't stop at the front door. Outside, there's a deep attached garage for anyone who actually wants to park a vehicle and still have room for tools, bikes, and the various other things garages accumulate. And then there's the back patio, covered, comfortable, and overlooking two thirds of an acre that feels like a lot more than two thirds of an acre. The privacy back there is the kind you usually have to drive out to actual acreage to get. Instead, it's right here in town. All of that, the size, the privacy, the space that made my staging brain sweat a little, for $185,000. In Sanford. That's a number that's getting harder to find attached to this much room and this much yard. So yes, she's mint green. She's always been mint green. But now she's mint green with fresh paint, new floors, a backyard that feels like its own oasis, and a price tag that makes a lot of sense once you've stood in that living room. Some houses you forget. This one, you were never going to.
