Welcome to easy, affordable lake living in Lake of the Woods! This home is updated, move-in ready, and priced under $300,000! At 104 Monticello Circle, the big-ticket items are already done for you. The roof was replaced 5 years ago and the HVAC was replaced a little over a year ago, offering peace of mind from day one. Inside, you'll find freshly updated LVP flooring, fresh paint, a stylish brick accent wall that adds warmth and character, and a newly refreshed deck! The layout is flexible and functional, perfect for first-time buyers or those seeking a weekend lake retreat. The main level includes a kitchen with nice counter & cabinet space, comfortable bedroom, full bath, and open living/dining spaces. Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms with LVP flooring share a Jack-and-Jill bath. One bedroom offers a walk-in closet, while the other opens to an elevated deck with peaceful treetop views with the perfect spot for morning coffee or unwinding at the end of the day. Outside, enjoy a charming garden-style front yard, a half-moon driveway with ample parking, and a lovely backyard. A newer side patio adds both function and charm, complemented by a beautiful Japanese maple for seasonal color. Located inside amenity rich Lake of the Woods, residents enjoy access to two lakes, beaches, pool, golf, equestrian trails, parks, dining and more, truly a lifestyle, not just a home. The Wilderness Battlefield entrance is less than five minutes away, with Route 3 shopping and dining within ten. Fredericksburg, Orange, and Culpeper are all within a 30-minute drive.
