Tucked at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac in Sparta's Mallard Run, this stately brick-front Colonial is the escape you've been dreaming of. Set on 1.02 breathtaking acres, it's framed by towering trees and rolling, emerald-green lawns. Mornings come alive with birdsong, and Lake Grinnell sparkles just moments away. As the sun rises, light pours through wide windows and across gleaming hardwood floors, filling the home with an airy, open feel. A soaring two-story foyer with crown molding opens to generous formal living and dining rooms made for elegant gatherings. The spacious eat-in kitchen features a sleek center island, pendant lighting, and stainless steel appliances, with sliders to a sprawling deck overlooking the backyard's wide, grassy hills. It flows into the family room, where lofty vaulted ceilings and a cozy fireplace set the scene for nights in. A private office rounds out the main level. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite offers a walk-in closet and a spa-inspired bath with a double vanity, soaking tub, and glass-enclosed shower, joined by three more bedrooms and a hall bath. The finished basement is an entertainer's paradise, with a spacious rec room, a game and movie room, a full bath, and walkout access straight to the backyard. A 2-car attached garage, central air, and public water add to this remarkable home. Don't let it slip away!
