1996 W Railroad Street sits at the end of the road on a full acre, lined by hole 12 of Westwood Golf Course and just seconds from Westwood Elementary. It feels like a private retreat you wouldn’t expect to find there, which is part of what makes it so memorable. Inside, you’ll find three bedrooms, two full baths, engineered hardwood through the kitchen and dining area, and a transom above the entry into the living room that adds another layer of character. And there is plenty of it here. Nothing feels cookie-cutter or overly polished into submission. Outside, the covered porch gives you a front-row seat to slower mornings, while the private backyard offers an open deck, gazebo, mature landscaping, and a small koi pond. It is the kind of yard where you sit down for five minutes and suddenly realize an hour has passed. The detached two-car garage includes workshop space, additional storage, and a lean-to that makes an easy potting station for flowers, plants, and whatever gardening project you decide to start next. This property is peaceful, unique, full of personality, and honestly, the kind of place you may never want to leave.
