In-Person: 08/22 11:00 AM - 1:00 PMWake up to the shimmering waters of Lake Leopold and sweeping protected prairie views at 860 Blazing Star Road - a spacious five-bedroom Watts model crowned by a finished third story in one of the country's most acclaimed conservation communities. Meticulously cared for and fully move-in ready, the home delivers three finished above-grade levels and room for everything - and everyone. Crisp new paint and refreshed light fixtures elevate every room, while brand-new stainless steel appliances bring a sleek, contemporary finish to the kitchen. Tucked just off the kitchen, a stunning butler's pantry complete with a wet bar doubles as an entertainer's centerpiece and your go-to morning coffee bar. Step outside onto the deluxe second-story porch, where the prairie and lake views stretch even wider - breathtaking in all four seasons. Two bedrooms enjoy direct access to this private second-floor balcony, treating you to a bird's-eye perspective of the neighborhood and the shimmering waters of Lake Leopold. Mornings here are nothing short of extraordinary. The finished third floor is the crown jewel - think of it as your above-grade recreation room! Rich hardwood flooring, a full bathroom, and sunlight pouring in from every angle frame some of the most stunning lake views Prairie Crossing has to offer. Ideal as a recreation room, private guest quarters, a home office, or a play space. Just inside from the garage, a cleverly reimagined mudroom creates the ultimate drop zone, while custom built-ins throughout the home deliver both everyday function and timeless style. Owned solar panels provide lasting energy efficiency and year-round peace of mind. Downstairs, the unfinished basement is already roughed in for a future bathroom, offering a blank canvas to expand and personalize. And the low-maintenance lifestyle? The yard opens directly onto protected green space and a park - a rare and tranquil setting that extends your living space straight into nature. Little mowing or long hours landscaping, just serenity at your doorstep. Miles of walking and biking trails, organic farmland, and preserved open space complete a lifestyle that stands in a league of its own. Room for everything - and the time to enjoy it. A finished third-floor rec room, private guest quarters, a home office, and space for the whole household, all with nature right outside. If you're looking for move-in-ready convenience with room to live, this one's for you. This isn't just a home - it's Prairie Crossing living at its absolute finest.
