Discover the best of both worlds with this 3-bedroom, 2-full-bath home situated on 1.2 pristine acres within city limits. Enjoy the convenience of city living while surrounded by the privacy, peacefulness, and natural beauty of a country setting.
The lower level welcomes you from the parking area with a spacious living room that flows into the modernized eat-in kitchen. The generous living space offers plenty of flexibility for a variety of furniture layouts and could easily accommodate a dedicated dining area. The updated kitchen features refreshed cabinetry and countertops, ample counter space, updated appliances, and room for a comfortable kitchen table and chairs.
On the main level, you'll find a large renovated family room filled with beautiful windows, creating a bright and inviting space that could also serve as a separate entertaining area.

Two additional nicely sized bedrooms complete the main living area.
Step outside onto the large walk-out patio and take in the expansive, rolling, meticulously manicured lawn. The property offers a wonderful combination of open yard and wooded areas, creating a private backdrop for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying the outdoors. The grounds gently meander toward a small creek, providing a unique opportunity to explore and enjoy nature right in your own backyard.
A standout feature of this property is the large detached 3-car garage, located off a private drive and offering generous parking, storage, and workshop space. The garage is heated by a wood-burning stove, which can also provide heat to the main residence as an option.
With its spacious interior, extensive updates, oversized garage, private acreage, wooded setting, and creek—all while remaining within city limits—this property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy privacy and nature without giving up the conveniences of town.
