Property Description
This charming mid-century rambler, with Mud Lake Park just outside its backyard gate, has been cared for by only two owners, who have lovingly maintained it and made improvements to the house and incredible double lot throughout its lifetime. Greet guests with an immediate view of the landscaped backyard from the front entryway. Enjoy gatherings or quiet evenings in the inviting living room, with its cove ceilings, brick wood-burning fireplace, and large picture window. The bright, comfortable eat-in kitchen is a lovely place for cooking, baking, and conversations and includes ample storage and a walkout to a deck and patio, providing seamless indoor/outdoor living. Three bedrooms on the main level offer excellent flexibility. The walk-through third bedroom features a large bay window, allowing it to function as a wonderful dining room, den, activity space, or office. Accompanying the original woodwork and hardwood floors are new, top-quality windows throughout, all with custom coverings, including the one in the sweet, well-organized garage. The finished lower level features a large family room, private fourth bedroom, full bathroom, dedicated laundry room, and plenty of extra storage, including a fruit cellar. Well-placed trees and flower beds provide privacy for the gathering and eating areas outside, which transition to a very large but semi-secluded open area that includes a full second lot, making for loads of space for games or gardens or both. With its abundant windows and slightly elevated setting, the house has idyllic views of the yard and, in the winter, the park, which is great for gentle sledding and ice skating or broomball. Enjoy great bird-watching in your own backyard and nature walks just beyond it, plus local parks and trails, not to mention shopping and dining. This home—a rare combination of mid-century solid construction, natural surroundings, and everyday convenience—is in the well-regarded School District #197. It is also within biking distance of Dodge Nature Center and Preschool. Must see!
