A home where mornings sparkle on the water, afternoons unfold under the shade of ancient oaks, and evenings end with laughter by the lake. Welcome to 1463 Timber Lane - a storybook lakeside retreat in the sought-after Patterson Springs community, blending comfort, craftsmanship, and nature into one unforgettable place to call home. Set on nearly an acre with approximately 250 feet of shoreline along a pristine, 16-acre, 10-foot-deep stocked lake, this property delivers the peace and privacy you've been dreaming of. In spring and summer, lush foliage conceals neighboring homes, creating your own private sanctuary - yet the views of the water remain unobstructed and stunning year-round. With two private docks (one perfect for fishing, the other for parties), a seawall, and even a boat negotiable with the sale, every day feels like a getaway. Located in the modest HOA of Patterson Springs, you'll enjoy a close-knit lake community with minimal fees, just minutes from Champaign-Urbana amenities yet a world away from the hustle and bustle. Arrive to a concrete driveway that leads you past mature trees, fruit orchards (apples, peaches, and pears), and raised garden beds, all nurtured by a lake-fed irrigation system and well - no water bills here! A brand-new roof (2024), new shed (12'x15', 2024), and a sprawling deck (2019) mean the big investments are already done for you. Inside, the home exudes warmth and craftsmanship. The open floor plan features solid brick construction, energy-efficient 2x6 walls, passive-solar orientation, and ceiling fans throughout - keeping utility costs exceptionally low. Step into the vaulted living room, where a wood-burning fireplace and a wall of tall windows frame the lake view like a painting. Oak hardwoods carry through to the sunroom and dining area, both drenched in natural light and perfect for gathering with family and friends. The chef's kitchen offers solid oak cabinets, a Corian island, glass-top range, built-in microwave, and a charming oak-and-leaded-glass pass-through to the sunroom - ideal for entertaining. The main-level primary suite is a true retreat, with vaulted ceilings, private deck access, and a spa-like bath featuring a jetted tub and separate shower. Two additional bedrooms share a full bath, while the walkout basement provides nearly 2,000 sq ft of flexible space: a family room that opens to the yard, finished guest bedroom, full bath, laundry with washer, dryer, and two freezers, a huge workshop, tornado shelter, and pantry storage. And for the hobbyist or collector? An oversized 3-car garage with auto courtyard and central vacuum system add functionality and convenience. Even a lawn tractor and leaf vacuum can be negotiated if desired. Whether you're picking fresh fruit from your own orchard, savoring quiet mornings on the deck, fishing from your dock, or hosting friends in the sunroom while the water glistens outside, 1463 Timber Lane in Patterson Springs offers a rare lifestyle - part luxury, part nature, and completely unforgettable.
