Just minutes from Offutt AFB, this 3900-square-foot ranch sits nestled in the Fontenelle Hills community and is surrounded by rolling hills, mature trees, and abundant wildlife.
Built in 1970 and completely remodeled in 1985 and periodically updated, this home boasts four bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and an open floor plan with a warm cozy feel.
A solid wood front door with bevel leaded glass greets guests and family.
The entryway foyer provides an unobstructed view of the large kitchen with a 4'x10' island with a granite top that overlooks a vaulted family room with a large brick fireplace insert encased in "Old Chicago" brick.
The kitchen's eastern exposure welcomes you with morning sun while a large bay window in the spacious (south facing) living room bathes the house with sunlight for the remainder of the day.
The main level also includes three bedrooms, a den, and a full bath with updated fixtures that include a double sink, frameless shower/tub, and sufficient space for a diaper changing table.
Oak woodwork and trim throughout the house compliment the light beige carpeting and an interior painted in Sherwin Williams "Sail Cloth" colors. Solid wood doors throughout the home provide access to rooms and closets. Pella triple pane casement windows provide extra insulation from the cold.
A wide staircase with an oversized oak railing leads to a fully finished walkout lower level where you'll find a large rec room that faces a second fireplace insert also encased in "Old Chicago" brick. An 8'x8' oak "L" shaped bar with granite countertop with sink and upper and lower oak cabinetry compliments the area and provides a wonderful place to host parties and entertain guests. The area comfortably accommodates folks who wish to watch the game and other guests who wish to play pool, shuffleboard, or throw darts. An updated half bath is conveniently close to the rec room for family and guests.
A master suite with a Jacuzzi tub, shower with body sprays, and walk-in closet provide a quiet retreat. A laundry room with ample cabinets, a long countertop, a clothes chute, and a utility sink make laundry day much easier.
A spacious utility room provides an additional storage area and includes a water softener, natural gas furnace, and a natural gas water heater.
A 16'x25' Trex deck on the main level overlooks a densely wooded area and provides privacy and serenity. It is an ideal location that can serve as a play area for children or as an outdoor living room with additional deck space for chaise lounges with which to sunbathe. A retractable electric awning that spans the length and width of the deck shields family and guests from rain showers or midday sun.
The exterior of the home features "Old Chicago" brick, James Hardie plank siding and a cedar shake roof.
An extensive network of golf cart paths provides a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the wooded neighborhood whether you're out for a peaceful stroll or daily run. A basketball court and a pool located a ten minute walk from the house serve as additional gathering areas.
Fontenelle Nature Center, located a five-minute drive away, provides a wide variety of activities that include wildlife classes, play areas, an obstacle/zip line course, and 17 miles of nature trails. Henry Doorley Zoo located a 15-minute drive away also serves as a popular destination. The Old Market in historic downtown Omaha located 20 minutes away attracts young and old to its shops and restaurants along its cobblestone streets.
A variety of grocery stores, shops, restaurants, and a home improvement center are located within an easy ten-minute drive. Bellevue Library, Wake Robin Elementary, Logan Middle School, and Bellevue East High School are all within a three to five-minute drive.
This home would graciously serve the needs of a young couple with a growing family or a senior-level executive couple that likes to entertain. It has an open, cozy, light-filled floor plan with features that make it a joy to come home to. This lovely home awaits your visit.
