Tucked at the very end of a peaceful cul-de-sac, this charming 1,283 sq. ft. home offers the best of both worlds—nature at your doorstep and the University/meditation Domes just minutes away. Step inside to an inviting open-concept layout where the kitchen, dining, and living areas flow seamlessly together—perfect for everyday living or entertaining. Large windows invite in natural light and frame serene views, while the surrounding forest and nearby trails create a quiet, retreat-like atmosphere. Out back, you’ll find a surprisingly lush yard—your own private oasis for relaxing, gardening, or gathering under the trees. The property backs to a rarely active, sleepy national guard field maintenance installation, offering added privacy with minimal disruption. If you’ve been searching for a cozy home that feels tucked away yet conveniently located, this hidden gem delivers. Quiet. Connected. Completely inviting.
