About this home
A rare combination of convenience and peaceful privacy within walking distance to ISU campus and scenic nature trails surrounding Lynn Fuhrer Lodge. Step inside and experience a stunning, light-filled gathering room highlighted by vaulted ceilings and expansive windows that create an immediate sense of warmth and openness.
At the heart of the home, the beautifully designed dream kitchen -- an inviting space that seamlessly connects to the hearth room, where a striking double-sided fireplace creates an enjoyable conversation or peaceful reading area. Entertain effortlessly as the living space extends through sliding patio doors to a custom-designed multi level Trex deck.
The primary suite provides a private retreat, complete with dual walk-in closets and a fully custom-remodeled en suite bath finished with thoughtful detail. Two additional bedrooms share a beautifully updated full bath, also custom remodeled.
The family room showcases a full brick wood-burning fireplace and sliding doors that open to the backyard, creating a cozy yet versatile living space. A fourth bedroom, additional full bath, private den with backyard access, and dedicated exercise room offer flexibility for guests, work-from-home needs, or multigenerational living.
Significant updates include the replacement of most windows with Andersen® replacement windows, new carpet, custom blinds, multi level custom Trex deck overlooking professional landscaping.
As the owner shares: 'The location, the open kitchen and hearth room, the separation of spaces for solitude, and the custom deck surrounded by mature trees, especially the oak that shades the deck in the afternoon for al fresco dining make this more than a house'. It is a home designed for connection and comfort...
