Imagine pulling up to your own little slice of Putnam Lake for the first timeDrive to the corner of Venice and Quebec to find your new home, 7 Venice Road. Turn up the driveway and park under the cover of your spacious 490 sq ft attached garage. Plenty of room for cars, bikes, and all the lake toys youre about to collect. You step onto the covered concrete porch and instantly envision summer nights ahead. Plan for string lights, a fresh coat of paint on the railing, burgers on the grill, friends spilling into the fully fenced yard thats just waiting for your vision (maybe a fire pit, maybe raised garden beds, maybe both).Inside, the hardwood floors are ready to shine again, and you can feel the structure is solid the moment you walk in. Same with the white maple kitchen cabinets and Corian counters. They are solid, timeless, and ready for whatever look youve been pinning: a quick paint refresh, new hardware, maybe a bold backsplash update. The stainless appliances (double ovens for the baker in you, quiet Bosch dishwasher, big Amana fridge) are all staying and more than ready to handle the housewarming party.The 2018 bathroom was already done with new tile, tub, and fixtures so that ones checked off your list. Two sunny bedrooms with those same hardwoods are the perfect blank canvases: one for you, one for the kiddos, the parents or the guests. New nursery perhaps?Then head upstairs and smile. The second floor is wide-open possibility: a dedicated home office to work instead of the breakfast table, a playroom where the kids laughter echoes off the walls, or a sweet guest suite. Whatever your life needs next, this floor is ready to grow with it.Downstairs, the full walk-out basement has laundry, workshop and garage access. The space is large enough to easily add a nice home gym or yoga studio. The big stuff you dont want to worry about is already handled: roof stripped down to the plywood and redone in 2007, stucco siding thats stood the test of time, fully-fenced in yard, Culligan water softener in 2017, regularly maintained septic and two 275-gallon above ground oil tanks keeping you toasty all winter.Yes, shes asking for some love. Some fresh paint, refinish the wood floors, new light fixtures, cabinet hardware, ect. This is classic sweat-equity goldmine: move in today, update as you go, and watch your money and imagination turn it into something thats unmistakably yours.Youre not just buying a house in Putnam Lake, youre buying the chance to create the home youve always wanted. The keys are ready. The story is yours to finish. Welcome home.
