Some homes are simply lived in-this one has been truly loved. Proudly offered by its original owner, this impeccably maintained 5-bedroom, 3-bath residence offers over 3,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space where quality craftsmanship and timeless style shine throughout. From the custom-built kitchen with granite finishes to the fresh custom paint completed in 2026, every room reflects years of exceptional care and purposeful updates. The spacious main-floor laundry room and private primary suite, quietly situated at the rear of the home with peaceful views of the backyard, offer the ease and comfort of single-level living while the fully finished walkout basement provides abundant space for family, guests, hobbies, or entertaining. Just off the stairs, the oversized cold storage room has been cleverly positioned for effortless access to seasonal and everyday pantry essentials. Step outside to discover the award-winning "Yard of the Year" landscape, where mature shade and fruit trees, colorful gardens, and lush foliage create an unforgettable outdoor retreat. Enjoy evenings around the tucked-away fire pit, relax beneath the covered patio, or take in breathtaking sunset views from the covered deck. A charming storage shed designed to perfectly complement the home's architecture completes the picturesque setting. Practical updates-including a newer furnace, air conditioner, water heater, approximately 9-year-old roof, and wiring for a Generac generator-provide peace of mind for years to come. Ideally located in one of Perry's most welcoming neighborhoods, this exceptional home offers a peaceful setting within walking distance of the elementary school and Perry Park-the heart of the community and home to cherished traditions, including the city's annual Fourth of July celebration-while remaining just minutes from everyday conveniences and major commuting routes. Homes that have been cared for with this level of pride and attention are a rare find.
