Tucked away in a quaint, out-of-the-way neighborhood, this 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom gem offers a unique blend of seclusion and convenience. Just a short drive to the interstate and all the city's amenities. As a delightful surprise, if you know where to look, the downtown skyline peeks through from the front yard. Step inside, natural light comes through the floor-to-ceiling windows in each of the level’s front living rooms. The large kitchen is perfect for culinary adventures, and the cozy wood-burning fireplace invites quiet evenings at home. The walkout basement leads to a charming private patio, while the expansive deck off the kitchen provides a fantastic space for grilling and entertaining. Just over five years ago, the current owner acquired this immaculate time capsule from the original owners and has since tastefully updated every room. The lower level has been transformed into a stylish, vibey lounge. This home has clearly been the pride and joy of both its past owners. Outside, the private backyard is a true haven, bordered by timber where ramps, morels, and bluebonnets come alive in the spring. The extensive gardens and courtyard walkway provide blooms in every season, fresh cut flowers, and all the possibilities for relaxation and exploration. Whether you're playing in the expansive and lush front yard or wandering through the homes vibrant landscaping, this property promises peace, privacy, and a world of adventure, all within reach of the city.
