Property Description
Rarely Available Denburn Woods Gem on a Private 1/2-Acre Creekside Lot.

The main level is filled with character and warmth, boasting a formal living room, den, dining room, and a cozy family room with expansive picture windows that frame tranquil backyard views. A striking brick and copper fireplace serves as a dramatic centerpiece, perfect for gathering on cool evenings. The sun-drenched 3-seasons room offers a peaceful place to relax and enjoy the surrounding nature year-round. With two separate basements-one beneath the newer primary suite and another under the original part of the home-there's no shortage of storage, recreation, or renovation potential.
