Wake up to birdsong and creek views in this private 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath retreat, tucked against Krape Park and the banks of Yellow Creek. Set on just over an acre, this Freeport gem was made for slowing down — sip your morning coffee in the three-season room or out on the brand-new composite deck, then unwind by the fire pit as the sun sets over the trees. Inside, a fully finished basement unlocks endless possibility: a hobby room for your next project, plus a bonus room ready to become the home office, gym, or storage space you've been dreaming of. Curl up by the wood-burning fireplace downstairs on chilly nights, or flip the switch on the gas fireplace upstairs for instant warmth. A 2-stall attached garage and an industrial membrane roof still under warranty mean the big-ticket updates are already done — all that's left is for you to move in. Quiet, private, and impossible to replicate this close to the park: this is the oasis you've been searching for. Don't wait or you might miss your opportunity to make this house your next home sweet home!
