Description

Tucked quietly among the trees sits a home that feels like it was pulled straight from the pages of a storybook. Set on 1.7 wooded acres in the heart of the city, this rare brick beauty offers the kind of peaceful setting most people only dream about — where evenings are slow, the air feels a little softer, and the glow of string lights welcomes you home. Inside, you’ll find 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, including two generously sized bedrooms that give everyone room to stretch out, dream big, and truly settle in. The kitchen carries a touch of magic all its own, with a sweet mural lovingly painted by the former owners — a little reminder that this home has been cherished and filled with happy memories, making the space feel soulful, warm, and unforgettable. Step outside and nature immediately surrounds you. Families of deer wander quietly through the trees, birds sing in the mornings, and every season brings a different kind of beauty to the landscape. Out back, the porch becomes its own little escape. As evening settles in and the string lights begin to twinkle, it’s easy to imagine quiet mornings with coffee, summer dinners with family and friends, peaceful nights listening to the sounds of nature, or simply sitting still while the trees sway gently in the breeze. An attached oversized 2-car garage adds practicality to all the charm, giving you room for storage, hobbies, and everyday convenience. And while the property feels wonderfully tucked away, it’s incredibly connected — located just about 15 minutes from downtown and the airport, with quick access to both the Watterson Expressway and the Gene Snyder for easy travel anywhere in the city. Outdoor lovers will appreciate being just minutes from Iroquois Park and a quick drive to other South End nature spots like Waverly Hills, while everyday essentials like grocery stores, shopping, and dining remain close and convenient. It’s rare to find a property that feels this private, this peaceful, and this full of character while still being so close to everything. Homes like this don’t come along often — a true unicorn in the city.
