12040 Hotchkiss Road, Burton, OH 44021

Property Description

This cedar-sided ranch lives like a year-round getaway—charming and designed to make every day feel like the weekend. A welcoming foyer opens to an updated kitchen that flows into the dining area, anchored by a dramatic stone fireplace (2-sided and vent-free!) and framed by picture-perfect views straight out to the lake. The vaulted great room and primary bedroom expansion added space to breathe without losing the cozy cottage feel, and both the dining room & great room offer indoor-outdoor access, keeping lake life in view from sunrise to sunset. Outside, the beautiful stamped concrete patio overlooking the water was just sealed this year and the dock is perfect for fishing or a quiet reading perch. There's a covered front porch with low-maintenance composite decking, thoughtful landscaping, and a spot out back already wired for a hot tub. Major updates mean the home lives as good as it looks—'22 roof, '21 hot water tank, '17 septic with new aerator and UV bulb in '25, Kinetico water softener, and an attached 1-car garage. True single-floor living includes laundry, one full and one half bath, and a layout that works whether you’re here full-time, part-time, or creating a turnkey rental. Spectrum fiber gig internet is being installed along Hotchkiss this year, making remote work and streaming effortless. Residents of Little Punderson Lake enjoy paddleboarding, kayaking, fishing for largemouth bass, spotting blue herons and bald eagles, and having a community beach just steps from home—no car keys required. West Geauga Schools ranked top 10 in Ohio and #1 in Geauga County—and you're just seven minutes to downtown Burton, under twenty to Chagrin Falls, and a few minutes to Route 422 for easy access anywhere. Here, the day doesn’t end when work does—it continues at the dock, on the patio, or out on the water with the sky changing colors above you. Garden a little, paddle a little, or do absolutely nothing at all. That’s the magic.
