Cottage in the Woods! Tucked away on a beautiful 1.16-acre lot in the coveted South of Grand neighborhood, this charming 3-bedroom, 4-bath home feels like a private retreat while still being close to everything. Surrounded by mature trees, perennials, stone waterfalls and a refurbished garden pond (2026), the setting is truly something special. Inside, you’ll find newly refinished hardwood floors (2026), fresh paint throughout nearly the entire interior and exterior 2026, some newer windows and a living room featuring a brand-new fireplace and façade (2026). The kitchen offers plenty of space to cook and gather with newer refrigerator, range and dishwasher, while the screened porch is perfect for morning coffee or enjoying the peaceful wooded surroundings. The spacious primary suite featur es a walk-in closet and private bath with radiant floor heat. Big-ticket updates include a newer roof, two newer HVAC systems and an entirely new electrical panel in 2025. Other updates include newer PEX plumbing, spray foam attic insulation, water softener, reverse-osmosis system, whole-house vac, irrigation and invisible fence. Enjoy the private feel of your own wooded retreat, yet minutes from downtown, schools, parks, bike trails, shopping and restaurants. A little bit cottage, a little bit retreat—and a whole lot to love!
