Property Description
Under contract-accepting backup offers. Some houses feel like they were designed from a floor plan. This one feels like it grew into a home. Tucked away at the back of Countryside Forest, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath garden cottage sits on a private .31-acre lot with no HOA and backs to 40 acres of undeveloped land. At 1,848 square feet, it offers generous living space, creative flex areas, and an abundance of personality you simply don't find in newer homes. The heart of the home is a bright living room with hardwood floors, high ceilings, a gas fireplace, and access to the backyard, along with a separate dining room. The updated kitchen features freshly painted cabinetry, butcher-block countertops, a farmhouse sink, backsplash, a brand-new refrigerator, brick flooring, and one of those charming old-fashioned windows over the sink that opens outward for a window box—perfect for your favorite herbs or flowers. A sunny breakfast nook provides another cozy spot to start the day. Off the kitchen is one of the home's most versatile spaces: a large bonus room with built-in cabinets and shelving that could become a workshop, art studio, playroom, hobby space, or home office. It even has its own side entrance with a covered landing, making it a practical secondary entrance from the driveway. The adjacent utility room offers laundry hookups, additional storage, and another door leading directly to the backyard. The home's many exterior doors are one of its most unique features, giving you easy access to different areas of the property and creating a wonderful connection between the indoors and out. The primary suite has its own backyard access, a walk-in closet, and an en-suite bath with a large soaking tub overlooking the greenery. And then there's the backyard. This is where the garden cottage really comes to life. Backing to 40 acres of undeveloped land, the yard feels private and peaceful, with mature greenery, a garden patio and pergola, a large storage shed, and plenty of space to garden, entertain, or simply enjoy the quiet. The front yard is equally charming, framed by a white picket fence, lush lawn, and established plants. A large gate at the driveway provides the option to bring vehicles into the backyard. Inside, you'll find charming details at every turn, including hardwood, brick, painted concrete, and even a unique paper-and-epoxy floor. The previous owner was an artist, and his creativity remains throughout the home in details like hand-painted doors, garden-inspired views, and a workshop floor painted to resemble natural stone. It isn't cookie-cutter—and that's exactly the point. The front screened porch may be the favorite spot of all. Picture morning coffee surrounded by greenery, an evening glass of wine, or simply sitting outside and enjoying the peaceful setting. The home is conveniently located near Meadowbrook Elementary, Santa Fe College, I-75, Publix, and everyday shopping and dining. Seller is willing to install a new roof prior to closing with an acceptable offer. If you're looking for a home with soul, garden charm, creative spaces, and room to make it uniquely yours, this one is worth seeing in person.
