About This Home
This is not your typical comp. It feels like living in the country, without ever having to leave town. Quiet streets, kids riding bikes, and Northridge Park steps away make this a true neighborhood gem. Backyard sunsets, coffee in the sunroom, and peaceful walks set the rhythm of daily life. Located within walking distance of the Middle School and Prairie Lakes Wellness Center—now with new outdoor pickleball courts. A heated 3-stall garage and warm, welcoming spaces make this home feel just right. When the current owners purchased this home in 2005, the basement was completely unfinished, and the yard was a blank canvas. Over time, they thoughtfully transformed every inch of the property.
The entire lower level was an empty shell and is now a warm, livable space, including two bedrooms, a full bathroom, a kitchen, a family room, all new walls, electrical work, and trim. They built a wall to separate the laundry and furnace areas, creating a dedicated laundry and sewing space, as well as a clean, dry storage zone near the sump.
Upstairs, they added a west-facing kitchen window and replaced the master bedroom window with a sliding glass door. After purchasing the home, they also installed a maintenance-free deck and built a fully enclosed, heated sunrooma peaceful retreat for much of the year.
Outdoor improvements include a roof over the cement patio just off the garage, underground sprinklers, bluegrass, shrubs, decorative rock, full guttering, and a large storage barn. A **maintenance-free fence** was installed to enclose the backyard, providing privacy and minimal care requirements.
They also completed the garage, which now features a fully insulated, finished, and heated space, along with a heavy-duty custom workbench. The home includes a city water-powered backup sump pump and a water softener. **Shingles were replaced in 2024 after hail damage.**
This is a home that's been upgraded with care, craftsmanship, and comfort in mind.
