A Brick Beauty! Looking for something close in, on a large lot, room to park your boat or RV, grow a beautiful garden, have privacy and perhaps even a 4 car garage/ SHOP? Here is the one you've been dreaming of! Just a smidge less than 1/2 acre, this home is tucked back off the street, with beautiful shade trees and flowering shrubs, and a private backyard without any other dwellings behind it! Once a large farm, the soil here is rich for planting. Existing are raised garden beds, blackberry & raspberry bushes, providing a bounty of berries for jam making, asparagus canning, and more. A rare find in city limits, with it's 25 x 30 SHOP to the back of the driveway, complete with overhead doors, electricity and concrete flooring. Both the house and the shop have newer roofs installed, less than 2 years old! While there is much outdoors to discover, Guests will feel delighted entering on a large covered porch, through double French paned doors that open wide and hospitable. Wow factor is the vaulted and beamed ceilings in the front living and dining room. Plenty of windows for wonderful natural light, & hardwood flooring throughout. The enclosure of the cheerful sunroom adds to the living space, complete with heat and air for all season enjoyment. It is simply an elegant home, loved and cared for by the same owner for more than 2 decades. The neighborhood is alive with activity, with residents that enjoy the walking the shady sidewalks, riding bikes, sharing garden produce, playing tennis or using the playground in the school park a block away, at Horace Mann Elementary. Kickapoo High school is super close, and minutes drive to Cox and Mercy Hospitals. Fast access to Hwy 60 and 65, shops, eateries, houses of worship, favorite grocery stores, public library, and more! A rare opportunity, the once in a lifetime kind!
