Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac and backing directly to the Metro Parks, this raised ranch offers a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and endless potential. Enjoy peaceful, wooded views from the expansive 27' x 14' living and dining room, where large windows bring the outdoors in and create a warm, inviting space for everyday living and entertaining. The thoughtfully designed 2100 square foot main level features three bedrooms, including a primary suite with a private ensuite bath, while the additional bedrooms share a full bath. A spacious 19' x 13' family room with sliding glass doors opens to a beautiful brick-inlay patio overlooking the wooded backyard—an ideal place to unwind while enjoying the peaceful sights and sounds of nature. The kitchen includes a separate breakfast area, and the convenience of main-floor laundry makes everyday living even easier. The finished lower level adds valuable living space of approximately 400 square feet with a generous 22' x 13' recreation room, a half bath, an attached two-car garage, and abundant unfinished storage. Major improvements have already been completed, including full roof replacement and rear gutters 2022, central air 2023, guest bath remodel 2020, garage door and opener 2015, French drain added 2025, electric panel 2026, hot water tank (6 years old), microwave (1 year old), and a professionally waterproofed basement with a lifetime transferable warranty, allowing the next owner to focus on updating the home's interior to match their personal style. While the interior is ready for cosmetic updating, the home has been priced accordingly, presenting an outstanding opportunity to build equity and create a truly exceptional home in one of the area's most desirable natural settings.
