What's special
Finally — the right house and the right neighborhood!
House hunting in this market can feel like chasing unicorns — you find the right house, it’s not the right neighborhood. You find the right neighborhood, it’s not the right house. But this one? It’s the total package.
From the charming covered porch to the swoon-worthy coved arches, this 4-bedroom, 2,500-square-foot beauty has character and all the practical perks. An open-concept layout that flows effortlessly, a cozy fireplace room that practically begs for blankets and movie nights, first floor laundry and smart-home friendly, high-end upgrades including matching Samsung kitchen appliances and Speed Queen dryer, a whole-house generator and even a Tesla charger for the EV lovers.
Step outside and you’ve got a backyard made for bonfires, s’mores, and stargazing.
But here’s the best part — it’s in the heart of University Hills. That means tree-lined streets, kids walking to school, and neighbors gathering in their very own Central Park with walking trails, playgrounds, and a private pavilion you can reserve for parties. And when you’re ready to stretch your legs, the Clinton River Trail is just a mile away.
Perfect house. Perfect neighborhood. And maybe… your perfect next chapter .... Buyer and buyer’s agent to verify all information, including but not limited to square footage, lot size, features, neighborhood info. and school district.
