Welcome to 606 Garden Gate Drive, your ideal retreat in the vibrant 55+ community of Spring Arbor. This meticulously maintained single family home shows pride in ownership throughout. As you approach the home, you're greeted by beautifully maintained landscaping, complete with a sprinkler system, and a welcoming covered porch. Upon entering, you're welcomed by a dramatic two-story foyer featuring wide plank wood floors, elegant wainscoting, crown molding, and double doors that open to a versatile office or bonus room. As you make your way toward the kitchen, you’ll pass a convenient coat closet, a beautifully appointed powder room, and a functional laundry room featuring a separate linen closet, countertop, and overhead storage. Just off the laundry room is access to the spacious two-car garage. Just before reaching the kitchen, you'll find stairs leading down to a full-size crawl space offering ample storage and housing the on-demand water heater. The heart of the home is a spacious open-concept kitchen, dining room, and living room—perfect for entertaining. The kitchen features a large walk-in pantry with wire shelving, white soft-close cabinetry, a tile backsplash, upgraded stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a generous island with plenty of room for seating. A built-in buffet with a matching granite countertop adds both style and function. Expansive windows wrap around the space, flooding the room with natural light. The dining area is anchored by a beautiful, updated light fixture, while the living room boasts a vaulted ceiling with a ceiling fan and recessed lighting for added ambiance. Just off the dining and living area is a charming sunroom that opens to a screened porch with pull-down shades and an adjacent paver patio—ideal for indoor-outdoor living. Double doors lead to the serene primary bedroom, which features plush carpeting, a tray ceiling, and two spacious walk-in closets. The en-suite bathroom offers a raised double vanity, a walk-in shower with a built-in bench seat, and a private water closet for added comfort and privacy. A beautiful wooden staircase with large windows brings in natural light as you ascend to the upper level, where you'll find a spacious loft—perfect for a playroom, home office, or bonus room. Two additional upstairs bedrooms offer ample closet space, ceiling fans with overhead lighting, and easy access to a full hall bathroom featuring a tub/shower combination, vanity, and a convenient linen closet. An unfinished third room upstairs is currently used for storage but offers excellent potential.

Climate and Weather
The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
