A private wooded retreat with room to make it your own! Nestled on over an acre of beautiful, wooded property in desirable Forest Canyon Estates, this ranch on a partial basement offers the space, privacy, and natural setting you've been dreaming of-all within the coveted Northwest Allen County School District. Inside, you'll find 5 possible bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, 3 separate living areas, a formal dining room, and a wonderful 3-season room overlooking the park-like surroundings. The updated kitchen features painted cabinetry, newer countertops, stainless steel appliances, and convenient access to the laundry room, where the washer and dryer are included along with a built-in hamper. The partial basement adds even more versatility with a large storage room and plenty of space for hobbies, organization, or future possibilities. The home offers public sewer, a newer well, gas forced-air heat, and central air. Recent improvements include a completely rebuilt exterior chimney, rebuilt furnace with newer parts last year and a updated well with new plumbing below ground. Outside, the large asphalt driveway provides abundant parking, while the storage shed with an overhead door is perfect for lawn equipment and outdoor storage. Set among mature trees with nature all around, this is the kind of privacy that is hard to find-and even harder to leave. Wake up to the woods, enjoy your coffee surrounded by nature, and make this Forest Canyon Estates retreat your own!
