Tucked away along Ward Creek and Auburndale Park, this charming property offers something increasingly rare - genuine privacy with unbeatable convenience. Set on a generous lot with room to breathe, build, garden, or dream, the home sits just minutes from I-70 yet feels worlds away from the bustle. Unwind on the back patio as evening settles in, or start your morning on the front porch swing while nature does its thing right across the street. Currently operating as a successful Airbnb, this property is a turnkey investment with proven income potential. One standout feature sets it apart from other short-term rentals: a driveway with full tractor-trailer clearance — a practical advantage that's nearly impossible to find. Whether you're looking for an investment, a private retreat, or a property with room to grow, this opportunity delivers. Schedule your private showing today!
