Welcome to this Fairview family home, a beautifully maintained gem in one of Fairview's most sought-after gated communities, where a private community park with a playground, covered picnic pavilion, and walking trails is just steps from your door. Inside, you'll love the open floor plan anchored by a cozy fireplace, perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. Need a home office? There's a versatile den on the main level that flexes to fit your work-from-home life. Head downstairs and you'll find a bonus room in the basement — the ultimate teen hangout, media room, or extra family space, whatever you need it to be. Step outside to a huge deck made for weekend barbecues and evenings with friends, plus a 2-car garage and a dedicated workshop for your hobbies and projects. The home sits on three-quarters of an acre with great buffer between neighbors, so you get privacy without giving up community. And that's really what sets this one apart- walk the trails, let the kids loose at the playground, or gather with neighbors at the picnic pavilion. It's the kind of neighborhood that feels like a getaway, every single day.

OU
Open Use District
The OU Open Use District is established as a district in which all uses are allowed by right, except for certain uses that are regulated as conditional uses so as to ensure that neighborhood impact is mitigated. Additionally, those uses which are specific to the Airport Industry District (AI) are excluded from the OU Open Use District. The neighborhood impact from conditional uses will be mitigated through the use of minimum specific site standards combined with general standards which provide the flexibility to impose a higher level of specific site standards dependent upon the degree of neighborhood impact. No zoning permit shall be required for permitted uses in the OU Open Use District.
