Imajine w ap rive nan ti moso ou nan Putnam Lake pou premye fwa...

Kondui nan kwen Venice ak Quebec pou jwenn nouvo kay ou, 7 Venice Road. Tounen nan chimen an epi gare anba abri garaj atache ou a ki gen 490 pye kare. Gen anpil espas pou machin, bisiklèt, ak tout jwèt lak ou pral kolekte. Ou ap mache sou pòch beton ki kouvri a epi toudenkou w ap imajine aswè ete ki devan ou. Planifye pou limyè nesans, yon nouvo kouch penti sou balistrad la, hamburgers sou gri, zanmi kap antre nan lakou ki konplètman kloti a ki jis ap tann vizyon ou (petèt yon dife, petèt jaden leve, petèt toude).

Andedan, planche bwa yo pare pou briye ankò, e ou ka santi estrikti a solid menm fwa ou antre. Menm bagay la ak kabitèt kwizin mawon blan yo ak kontwa Corian yo. Yo solid, san tan, e pare pou nenpòt aparans ou te ap panse: yon rafrechisman rapid ak penti, nouvo quincaillerie, petèt yon ajou enpòtan sou backsplash la. Aparèy asye pur yo (fou doub pou boulanj la ki nan ou, lave-brye Bosch ki fèb, gwo frijidè Amana) ap rete e yo plis pase pare pou jere fèt kay la.

Sal de ben 2018 la deja fèt ak nouvo karrel, ben, ak atik, kidonk sa a se deja make sou lis ou. De chanm ensolèy ak menm planche bwa yo se kanvaz ideyal: yon pou ou, youn pou timoun yo, paran yo oswa envite yo. Petèt yon nouvo sal betiz?

Apre sa, monte anlè… epi souri. Dezyèm etaj la se yon posiblite laj: yon biwo kay dedye pou ou ka travay olye de nan tab le dejen, yon chanm jwèt kote ri timoun yo rezone sou mi yo, oswa yon bèl suite pou envite. Kèlkeswa sa lavi ou bezwen pwochen, etaj sa a pare pou grandi avè l.

Desann, basement ki gen tout bagay la gen lave, atelye ak aksè garaj. Espas la ase gwo pou fasilman ajoute yon bel jimnastik kay oswa estidyo yoga.

Gwo bagay yo ou pa vle fè tèt ou mal se deja jere: dòmi a retire jiska plywood e li refè an 2007, twal stucco ki kenbe tès tan an, lakou konplètman kloti, adousis dlo Culligan an 2017, septik ki byen antretyen ak de tank lwil 275 galon ki kenbe ou cho tout sezon hiver.

Wi, li ap mande yon ti renmen. Yon nouvo penti, refè planche bwa yo, nouvo limyè, quincaillerie kabitèt, elatriye. Sa a se yon min lò sweat-equity klasik: antre jodi a, mete ajou pandan ou ap ale, e gade lajan ou ak imajinasyon ou transfòme li nan yon bagay ki san anyen ki pa sa ou kwè.

Ou pa jis ap achte yon kay nan Putnam Lake, ou ap achte chans pou kreye kay ou te toujou vle a. Kle yo pare. Istwa a se pou ou fini. Byenveni lakay.

Imagine pulling up to your own little slice of Putnam Lake for the first time…

Drive to the corner of Venice and Quebec to find your new home, 7 Venice Road. Turn up the driveway and park under the cover of your spacious 490 sq ft attached garage. Plenty of room for cars, bikes, and all the lake toys you’re about to collect. You step onto the covered concrete porch and instantly envision summer nights ahead. Plan for string lights, a fresh coat of paint on the railing, burgers on the grill, friends spilling into the fully fenced yard that’s just waiting for your vision (maybe a fire pit, maybe raised garden beds, maybe both).

Inside, the hardwood floors are ready to shine again, and you can feel the structure is solid the moment you walk in. Same with the white maple kitchen cabinets and Corian counters. They are solid, timeless, and ready for whatever look you’ve been pinning: a quick paint refresh, new hardware, maybe a bold backsplash update. The stainless appliances (double ovens for the baker in you, quiet Bosch dishwasher, big Amana fridge) are all staying and more than ready to handle the housewarming party.

The 2018 bathroom was already done with new tile, tub, and fixtures so that one’s checked off your list. Two sunny bedrooms with those same hardwoods are the perfect blank canvases: one for you, one for the kiddos, the parents or the guests. New nursery perhaps?

Then head upstairs… and smile. The second floor is wide-open possibility: a dedicated home office to work instead of the breakfast table, a playroom where the kids’ laughter echoes off the walls, or a sweet guest suite. Whatever your life needs next, this floor is ready to grow with it.

Downstairs, the full walk-out basement has laundry, workshop and garage access. The space is large enough to easily add a nice home gym or yoga studio.

The big stuff you don’t want to worry about is already handled: roof stripped down to the plywood and redone in 2007, stucco siding that’s stood the test of time, fully-fenced in yard, Culligan water softener in 2017, regularly maintained septic and two 275-gallon above ground oil tanks keeping you toasty all winter.

Yes, she’s asking for some love. Some fresh paint, refinish the wood floors, new light fixtures, cabinet hardware, ect. This is classic sweat-equity goldmine: move in today, update as you go, and watch your money and imagination turn it into something that’s unmistakably yours.

You’re not just buying a house in Putnam Lake, you’re buying the chance to create the home you’ve always wanted. The keys are ready. The story is yours to finish. Welcome home. © 2025 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
