** Enjoy a 1% rate buy-down - details in the supplements** Some homes are renovated. Others are given a remarkable second chapter. This one began as a dream. Its original owners custom-built it, a one-of-a-kind single-story ranch on a private wooded lot with direct trail access. Step inside and the space opens up around you. Soaring vaulted ceilings give every gathering room to breathe, and oversized windows fill the home with soft morning light and views of the trees. Main-floor living makes life easy, with three generously sized bedrooms and main-floor laundry. The big-ticket items are already handled: James Hardie siding, updated Renewal by Andersen windows, a newer HVAC system, and an updated water heater. Head downstairs, where a little vision goes a long way. The finished walk-up lower level offers a kitchenette, fourth bedroom, full bathroom, and dedicated workshop. With a little refreshing, it could become a guest or in-law suite, a place for movie nights, or somewhere for loved ones to stay. Then step outside, where this home really shines. Picture mornings on the expansive deck overlooking the private wooded backyard as the trees stir in the breeze. Come evening, dinners stretch long, laughter carries across the yard, and the sky turns gold behind the treeline. There’s room to wander, and Greenway Trails is just steps away. If you build, tinker, or create, there’s one more surprise: a detached workshop with a concrete pad and electricity, where weekend ideas take shape. An oversized 3-car garage gives you space for everything life brings along. This home isn’t finished to someone else’s vision, and that’s the beauty of it. It’s full of potential and personality, with the hard work already done. Some homes are simply places to live. Others become the backdrop for your next chapter. Perhaps this is where yours begins?
