Golf course views, peaceful surroundings, and comfortable ranch-style living — welcome to 2775 Essex Place! Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in the desirable Meridian School District, this all-brick ranch offers a lifestyle that is easy to enjoy. Backing to Red Tail Run Golf Course (hole #11), you’ll have a beautiful, peaceful backdrop to everyday life while still being close to everything you need. Step inside and you’ll find a welcoming main level designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The beautifully remodeled eat in kitchen, updated in 2018-2019, create a comfortable gathering space for morning coffee, family meals, or hosting friends. The spacious living room offers plenty of room to relax, while the family room—with its cozy wood-burning fireplace—sets the stage for quiet evenings at home. The main-floor bathroom was updated in 2019 to include a walk in shower, adding to the home’s appeal. And then there’s the screened-in back porch and adjoining patio — the perfect place to slow down and enjoy the setting. Imagine starting your morning with coffee overlooking the golf course, spending summer evenings outside with friends, or simply unwinding at the end of the day while enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The attached two-car garage includes a convenient access ramp for added functionality. The lower level gives you even more room to live, work, entertain, and enjoy, with a spacious family room providing a great spot for game nights, movie nights, or gatherings. A large laundry room, workshop area, two bonus/flex rooms, and additional storage offer plenty of versatility. There are also areas that provide an opportunity for the next owner to add their own finishing touches and make the space truly their own. A second full bathroom renovation has already been started, with the toilet, shower, electrical and plumbing in place, ready for completion. Additional updates include a roof in 2007 and water heater approximately 2020. With its all-brick exterior, convenient ranch-style layout, quiet cul-de-sac setting, beautiful golf course views, inviting screened porch, adjoining patio, and abundance of flexible living space, this is more than just a home — it offers a place to enjoy the way you live. Come experience the setting and possibilities for yourself!

Wildwood, located between Lake Decatur and Fairview Park, is a residential and park-adjacent Decatur neighborhood with curving, tree-lined streets and mid-century ranch homes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Fairview Park grounds, where ballfields, paths, and open lawns set a steady, outdoors-forward rhythm. Housing reads as low-slung and well-spaced, with mature landscaping and quiet blocks that feel set back from through-traffic. Lakefront drives and small inlets shape the geography, adding water views and a breezy, open horizon. Nearby staples such as the Devon Amphitheater and Scovill Zoo anchor the area’s cultural calendar without changing its calm tone. Daily routines often orbit parks, the lake, and short drives into central Decatur for dining and arts.
