Set on 1.3 private acres on two nearly identical attached parcels, this one-owner home offers a rare rural retreat surrounded by mature trees and a peaceful backyard forest oasis—all within the highly regarded Northwest Allen County Schools district. Built in 1973 and lovingly maintained, the home boasts excellent curb appeal with an all-wood exterior, manicured lawn, raised mulch and flower beds, and a charming flagstone pathway. Inside, nearly 3,300 square feet of living space blends timeless craftsmanship with thoughtful updates. The main level features a spacious living room, dining room, kitchen with large pantry storage, two additional bedrooms, and a laundry area with convenient half bath. Natural wood trim and exposed beams throughout add warmth and architectural character you simply can’t replicate today. A highlight of the home is the 2008 enclosed 4 season porch addition—a stunning space wrapped in windows with heated floors and a gas log fireplace, offering the perfect spot to relax and take in the wooded views year-round. The primary suite occupies the entire upper level, creating a true private retreat. The updated bathroom (2016) features a ceramic tile walk-in shower, while the cathedral ceiling with whitewashed exposed beams adds both volume and charm. A generous closet area completes the suite. The finished basement expands the living space with a wet bar, ventless gas log fireplace, daylight windows, and new carpet, providing a flexible blank slate for entertainment, hobbies, or future plans. Major updates include all new windows (2016) and a tear-off roof (2008). The home is equipped with a heat pump, central air, and supplemental baseboard heat for comfort in every season. If you’ve been searching for privacy, character, and space—this property delivers. Call your favorite local Realtor to set up a showing today.
