Your own private nature preserve-right outside your back door! Set on 5.22 beautiful acres backing to Kickapoo Creek, this 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers space, privacy and a setting that is truly special. The main level opens to a spacious foyer with hardwood flooring and a walk-in coat closet. A versatile flex room can serve as a dining room or additional living space, and the large main-level bedroom is perfect for guests, an office or whatever suits your needs. The family room is filled with natural light and features a wood-burning fireplace with gas start, flowing seamlessly into the eat-in kitchen with granite counters, tons of white cabinetry, stainless appliances, gas range and a huge pantry cabinet. Between the kitchen and oversized 3-car garage is an additional mudroom/pantry area with even more storage. The dining area opens to a screened porch, deck and sprawling patio overlooking the property. A powder room rounds out the main level. Upstairs are 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths, including the primary suite with a walk-in closet, laundry chute and private bath with double vanity and shower. The unfinished walk-out basement offers 1,368 additional sq. ft., 9' ceilings and plenty of opportunity for future finished space. And then there's the property! A nature trail winds through the backyard to Kickapoo Creek, with a garden, fruit trees and plenty of room to simply enjoy the outdoors. The 60x36 outbuilding, built in 2011, is heated and cooled and features an overhead door, workbenches, wire shelving and setup for an air compressor. Other highlights include a paved driveway (2026), EV charger, electrical upgrades, yard hydrant connected to the well, and a 100-amp exterior panel with a large concrete pad ready for a future hot tub. 5.22 acres, a creek, a walk-out basement, oversized 3-car garage AND a 2,160 sq. ft. outbuilding-this one checks some pretty hard-to-find boxes!
