[OPEN HOUSE: 11:00 - 1:00 Sat 9/12] Take your coffee out to the back deck, and there's nobody there. No rear neighbor, no windows looking back at you, no buildings at all. What is out there is seventeen acres of open field with one big tree in the middle of it, a walking path, and a gate to the park if you feel like a stroll. All of it belongs to the city, so the sellers can take everything they own, but ''The View Stays.'' |+| Out front, a stone porch with room for two chairs, a garden bed, and a white picket fence. Open the door, and the ceiling climbs and keeps climbing. One vault runs over the great room, the dining area, and the kitchen, so 1,376 square feet lives a lot larger than it reads on paper. New luxury vinyl tile and fresh trim went in across the main floor in 2022, and every window was replaced in 2019. |+| The kitchen works off a peninsula bar with oak cabinetry and a tile backsplash. Stand at the sink and you still see the whole great room. The dining area sits under its own chandelier. |+| All three bedrooms and both full baths are on this one floor. So is the laundry, a real room off the kitchen with cabinets, a door to the garage and another out to a small red deck. That deck is where the grill has always lived. The middle bedroom opens through a slider onto the big deck, rebuilt in 2019 and facing the park. |+| Downstairs, the lower level runs the full length of the house. Right now it's a gym, a music room and a play space. It isn't completely finished, so it isn't counted in the square footage, which is rather the point. |+| The two-car garage is drywalled, painted, and taller than you'd expect. The backyard is fully fenced, and between the porch, the grill deck, and the sitting deck there are three separate places to sit outside. Air conditioner 2020, garage door opener 2025, sump pump this year. Things got fixed as they came up. And whatever the next owner changes inside, the seventeen acres out back are not theirs to change.
