Property Description
Welcome to your private retreat at 5919 Rachel Drive in Waterloo! This beautifully updated 3-bedroom ranch is perfectly situated on approximately 2.5 acres with a picturesque lake in the front, offering a rare blend of refined comfort, natural beauty, and peaceful country living.
From the moment you arrive, you'll be impressed by the meticulously maintained grounds, featuring lush, manicured lawn, mature trees, and stunning landscaping that create a truly park-like setting. The home is perfectly positioned to take advantage of scenic lake views right from the front, creating a truly special first impression.
Inside, the desirable split-bedroom floor plan provides both functionality and privacy. The spacious great room showcases rich hardwood flooring, a soaring cathedral ceiling, and dramatic new windows extending to the gables—filling the space with natural light and creating a warm, lodge-inspired ambiance. The entire home has been freshly repainted, offering a crisp, move-in-ready interior.
The kitchen has been tastefully updated with new granite countertops and newer appliances, making it both stylish and functional. Both bathrooms feature updated lighting, while the primary suite offers new carpeting, a luxurious soaking tub, and a brand new solid oak vanity topped with quartz for an upscale finish.
Additional features include a main-floor utility room and a deep 3.5-foot crawlspace complete with vapor barrier and sump pump for added peace of mind. A 24kW Generac whole-house generator with automatic transfer switch ensures uninterrupted comfort no matter the weather.
Car enthusiasts, hobbyists, or those needing extra space will appreciate the 2-car attached garage along with a detached 1-car garage featuring its own 100-amp service and workshop potential with sliding door access.
Outdoor living is just as impressive with a deck overlooking the scenic lake in the front, while the backyard features a covered patio—perfect for entertaining or relaxing in a more private setting. The home is serviced by well, septic, and a water softener, and includes a roof approximately 2–3 years old along with new steel entry doors to the garage.
A truly special opportunity to own a beautifully updated home on acreage with water views—properties like this are hard to find!
