Situated on a spacious lot in peaceful Elwood, 899 Cottonwood Dr. is pristine from the outside-in. This beautiful Split-Level features 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and over 1,700 square feet of finished living space. The main level is a desirable open concept, with vinyl plank wood flooring, vaulted ceiling, updated kitchen, stainless steel appliances, an island with seating and storage, pantry, and a designated dining area. Sliding doors lead to a screened-in porch, perfect for additional dining or lounge space. 3 bedrooms await on the second level, including the primary with direct access to your full bath. The finished lower level offers additional recreational living space as well as storage, a laundry room, 3/4 bath, and leads to the attached 2 car garage. The fully fenced in backyard checks all the boxes-- enjoy your morning coffee on the deck, spend summer nights gathered around the fire pit, store all of your yard equipment and toys in the storage shed... the ultimate private retreat! This home has been meticulously cared for and maintained, with updates including new HVAC and hot water heater, new kitchen appliances, new front door, and freshly painted throughout.
