Imagine arriving home each day through the private, gated entrance of The Anchorage, one of Geist's most established and sought-after communities. Your home sits at the front of the neighborhood, offering the rare benefit of quick access in and out of the gates without sacrificing privacy, serenity, or the lifestyle that comes with a deeded boat dock reserved exclusively for your use. From the moment you step inside, the home unfolds with natural light, warmth, and an easy sense of connection. Walls of windows brighten the open floor plan, creating a feel that is unexpectedly peaceful given the convenience of its location. A cozy den with built-ins and a fireplace sets a welcoming tone, while the dining and family rooms provide the perfect setting for gatherings both large and small. The main level is designed for everyday comfort: a spacious kitchen, a sun-filled hearth room with a second fireplace, and a relaxing sunroom that overlooks the mature trees surrounding the property. The primary suite sits conveniently on this level as well, complete with a walk-in closet, private bath, and its own laundry access. A former laundry room has been transformed into a stylish mudroom with custom lockers, connecting seamlessly to the oversized three-car garage. The lower level mirrors the light and liveliness of the rest of the home, offering big windows, a large entertaining area, and a full bar ready for game days, holidays, or casual evenings with friends. Outside, you'll find a screened-in porch and expansive paver patio tucked into a half-acre lot framed by trees-creating a natural buffer that softens the presence of the street beyond. The sellers chose this home because the setting offers the best of both worlds: privacy at home and unmatched convenience when entering or leaving the neighborhood. For many buyers, especially boaters and active families, this location is a perk rather than a drawback. Quick access to the gate means effortless arrival and departure,
