Rare opportunity describes this uniquely designed home that has been tastefully updated and is situated on over a third of an acre with a view like a nature reserve behind the property because of the acres of wooded land on the other side of the back property line. The curb appeal of this home is unreal. Inside and out, this home offers some of the best of the transitional design tradition, which melds contemporary and traditional design elements in the same space to create a home that feels elevated, sophisticated, even urbane, but with traditional design elements juxtapositioned such as the classic limestone fireplace, dominant roof gables and charming covered porch that also make the home feel warm, relaxed and inviting. The showstopper of this home is the entire kitchen gathering space that is uniquely located at garden level with direct access to the back yard. This kitchen boasts not only extensive cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and ample natural light, but an island with a breakfast bar, full dining area, and a double-sided fireplace in an adjoining hearth room that gives ample opportunity to entertain, to enjoy morning coffee, or sit by the fire. Just on the other side of the double-sided fireplace is a huge living room. On the top floor, the primary bedroom is quite literally like a retreat space with an en suite bath featuring a large jacuzzi tub, walk-in shower, two walk-in closets and an adjacent water closet. Then, just outside the sliding glass door of the primary bedroom is a covered porch that spans the entire length of the house, giving two of the three bedrooms direct access to the porch that overlooks the backyard. Oversized two-car garage; generous storage throughout; two and a half baths; close to Sac & Fox Trail, Prairie Park Fishery, shopping and dining. With this much to offer at this price, this one won't last long! Come see for yourself.
