Welcome to 686 Jaywood Dr, a beautifully and thoughtfully renovated 3-bedroom in the sought-after Woodstone Village association. Tucked into a private wooded setting just blocks from schools and parks and minutes from MSU and the highways, this home has been given a top-to-bottom professional remodel with warm, current finishes throughout. The main level flows from a light-filled living room, anchored by a striking wood-burning fireplace and a wall of sliding glass overlooking the wooded grounds, up to a rich hardwood dining area and a fully reimagined kitchen. The kitchen features soft greige shaker cabinetry, dark stone-look counters, a crisp linear-tile backsplash, a new stainless sink with a modern gooseneck faucet, matte black hardware, and stainless appliances... A custom mudroom-style built-in with bench and hooks makes a functional drop zone at the entry. Both bathrooms were reworked with a cohesive designer look: white hexagonal penny tile, warm wood vanities with quartz countertops, matte black fixtures and lighting, and sculptural mirrors. Upstairs offers three bedrooms (a rare find in a condo), with new ceiling fans, lighting and fresh carpet, including a spacious primary with private access to the full bath. A refinished open staircase with a stained maple rail and modern horizontal black balusters adds real architectural interest. Fresh paint on every wall and ceiling, all-new light fixtures, new carpet, new interior doors with black hardware, a Nest smart thermostat, and a keyless front-door lock complete the transformation. The full basement is ready to finish and includes a new Whirlpool washer and dryer plus a utility sink. Newer central air, water heater, and garage door opener round it out, with an "almost-attached" garage offering built-in storage. The $390 monthly association fee covers snow, lawn, trash, exterior maintenance, and liability insurance. Exterior doors and their screens are association-maintained under normal wear, the lock hardware on those doors is the owner's, and a storm door (if present) is fully the owner's including its screens. Modern, move-in ready, and truly turnkey.
