Welcome to your own private wooded retreat! This charming home offers the perfect blend of comfort, functionality, and outdoor living, with thoughtful updates throughout for added peace of mind. Major improvements include a new furnace, A/C, and water heater (2023), plus a newer roof (2024) with approximately eight years remaining on the transferable warranty. Designed for convenient main-level living, the interior features a spacious living room with an adjoining flex space that's ideal for a home office, reading nook, or hobby area. There are two bedrooms, including one with direct access to the impressive 10' x 30' deck, newly built in 2024. (This room was previously used as a dining room, offering flexibility to suit your needs.) The kitchen showcases a stylish subway tile backsplash, double oven, refrigerator, microwave and easy access to the updated full bath and convenient main-floor laundry room. A small basement houses the home's mechanical systems, keeping utilities neatly tucked away. The exterior is where this property truly shines. Nestled on a private, wooded lot, you'll enjoy a peaceful setting with the entrance to the MCT bike trail just steps away. The yard is low maintenance so you can spend more time enjoying the space. A generous driveway provides parking for up to six vehicles or accommodates an RV with ease. And for Rv owners, there is an RV plug on the exterior of the large shed as well as a 220 plug inside the shed. Three outbuildings, all are equipped with electricity, offer exceptional space for hobbies, storage, or a workshop. The larger shed, newly constructed in 2025, features its own dedicated 100-amp electrical panel as well as heating/cooling and a smart thermostat, while the home is serviced by 200-amp electrical service—making this an ideal setup for hobbyists, craftsmen, or anyone needing additional workspace. Additional updates include new living room flooring (2024), new siding (2024), gutter guards (2025), new exterior sidewalks and drainage improvements, and a freshly resealed driveway (2026). To top it all off, the home has successfully passed the Fairview Heights occupancy inspection, making it ready for its next owner to move in and enjoy. Don't miss the opportunity to make this private retreat your own!
