2351 Turpin Ln, Evansville, IN 47712

A home in the woods, near the conveniences of the Westside, with a creek winding through the front yard. As Emerson said, "In the woods, we return to reason and faith." This classic Americana log home has updates and peace of mind to take you to the respite you need, whether inside or out. The newly updated entry centers around a circular floorplan with hardwood floors, and formal dining to the right. With enough room for hutch, buffet, or other entertainment accoutrements, the dining room looks out over the creek and is useable for entertainment or personal solace. The kitchen - peering to the woods to the west - connects to the large garage entry laundry room, and half bath, and features directional track lighting, stainless appliances, and solid surface counters. The living room opens to a back deck, and is flanked by the stone fire place. Large enough for multiple seating arrangements, it connects back to the front door. Upstairs a large main suite is on the south end of the hall, with the remaining two bedrooms split by the stairwell and secondary full bath. At the north end of the hall, for cozy north-face summer shade, is a large recreation room with French doors and windows, connecting the second story deck to the lush grounds below. A play structure holds fort over the entrance, ready to defend your log castle. The creek meanders so, such that a step down into the stream bed transports you to worlds away or simply to deep within. "The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness. Into the forest I go to lose my mind and find my soul." - John Muir... And hey, if the wooded acre here doesn't get your forest fan tails blowing, the USI trail is a short roll away. Back to Muir's wisdom: "Going to the woods is going home."
