Nestled on 5 serene, wooded acres at the end of a cul-de-sac, this split-level home offers a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature. Winding paths lead through mature trees to a tranquil creek, perfect for quiet walks on lazy afternoons. The residence features three bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths, highlighted by warm hardwood floors. There are gorgeous hardwood floors in the Living room also and an inviting wood-burning fireplace in the family room that leads through glass French doors to the den. Plus an abundance of natural light in the Kitchen and Dining area, which opens out to the spacious back deck overlooking the stately trees. An unfinished basement provides excellent potential for expansion, storage, or a workshop setup. Outside, you'll find a versatile shed (34'x 24') with an overhead door and concrete floor, along with a chicken coop for those who enjoy rural living and self-sufficiency. This property is located in the Meridian School District.
