1007 Sunrise AVE Merriam Woods, MO 65740

Welcoming log home located on a large tree filled lot and only 3 minutes to the marina, fishing pier and launch ramps by car. Or walk to the fishing area just down the road. This one-of-a-kind home, originally built by a Springfield resident as a lake house, boasts open sight lines and open concept living. The large living, dining and kitchen area are perfect for family entertaining and while elegant with its tall ceiling it is still both rustic and practical. A 40-foot-long porch welcomes you into a living room with a vaulted ceiling and wood burning stove. The second story bedrooms open to a landing over-looking the downstairs living area. The updated kitchen includes new cabinets, countertops, sink, faucet, and lighting. The beautiful wood look (but waterproof) floors are in the living room and downstairs bedroom. They are also in the master bedroom and landing upstairs. Also new carpet in the second bedroom upstairs. Main floor bedroom and full bath if you don't want to do the stairs. Totally updated home is ready for fun and great ''lake area'' living with its new roof, new water heater, new toilets, new HVAC heat pump and of course new paint. All this ''new'' with trees that are mature and beautiful, it is a hard mix to find. The master bedroom sports a private deck for morning coffee or evening relaxing. If you love outdoor cooking, outdoor activities or fire pits, the back yard has a lot of possibilities. Large rooms, beautiful colors and decor will make this a great place to live for years to come. The marina, quaint restaurants (even Forsyth restaurants are quick to get to), boat docks, fishing pier and launch ramps are minutes away. Try the nearby coffee shop for lunch, a local favorite with its outdoor eating areas. This is a unique home and wonderful opportunity.
