*OPEN HOUSE- SUNDAY 10/18 3-5PM* Distinctive craftsmanship, chic updates and a backyard that feels like a private park define this beautifully appointed, one-owner, custom-built home by Hakes & Roebrock. Offering over 4,500 square feet, the home features beautiful millwork, custom built-ins and updated granite, lighting and flooring that lend a refined feel to its generous living spaces. The open, eat-in kitchen centers around a sprawling island, offering generous prep space and a natural gathering place for casual meals and conversation. Stainless appliances, granite counters and updated flooring complement the inviting layout, which has ample room for dining and French doors leading to a screened porch with sliding windows. Opening to a large deck, this versatile space overlooks mature trees and an exceptionally private backyard retreat. A cathedral ceiling adds volume to the family room, where a brick fireplace, custom built-ins and expansive backyard views create an inviting place to gather. A formal dining room and separate living room offer additional entertaining space, while a front office with built-ins and French doors provides a dedicated place to work. Updated granite and lighting enhance the main-floor powder room, and the laundry room features granite counters and new flooring. Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms include two with en-suite baths. The completely renovated primary bath features a tiled shower, a Jacuzzi tub, a granite double vanity and distinctive woodwork, complemented by a large primary closet. A beautifully finished Jack-and-Jill bath serves the additional bedrooms. The lower level expands the living space with several open entertaining areas, new carpet, a wet bar, a full bath with a tub and a separate flex room with a window. A large utility area includes built-in storage, while the freshly painted three-car garage offers attached shelving and pegboard. A generator and security system provide added peace of mind. Outside, solar lights, a canopy of trees and a pea-gravel firepit area complete the park-like grounds. From dinner on the deck to evenings around the fire, this outdoor retreat makes the setting every bit as memorable as the home. Set on a cul-de-sac lot in an established Southwest Allen County neighborhood, the home offers a community pool, neighborhood trail access and nearby walking trails, all moments from SWAC schools and conveniently close to I-69, shopping and dining. Smoke-free and pet-free home.
