A Backyard That Made It Home
Perched on nearly half an acre, this gorgeous updated day ranch offers main-level living, timeless finishes, and a deep sense of ease. Built in 1962 and lovingly refreshed, every detail—from the gourmet kitchen to the tiered deck—was designed with both beauty and function in mind.
Two sets of French doors open from the heart of the home to a private backyard oasis, where a gently flowing creek winds its way through the landscape, crossed by a charming wooden bridge. Perfect for entertaining or quiet afternoons, this outdoor space offers a retreat-like atmosphere where nature and design work in harmony.
Inside, three fireplaces bring warmth and ambiance to the living, dining, and bonus spaces, creating cozy gathering spots year-round. Crown moldings and wainscoting lend a polished character, while light pours into spaces crafted for both everyday life and joyful hosting.
LIVING, DINING, and kitchen
The main level welcomes you with warmth and light. The living room, anchored by a stately fireplace, is ideal for slow mornings or evenings by the fire. In the kitchen, a Sub-Zero fridge, cook island with eating bar, and abundant storage create a true haven for food lovers. The open dining area offers seamless indoor-outdoor flow, with French doors leading to the deck and lush yard beyond.
bedrooms and bath
The dreamy primary suite features a large walk-in closet with built in storage plus a secondary closet with mirrored sliding doors, custom built-ins, and calming natural light. Additional bedrooms and full baths provide flexibility and comfort, while every room has been freshly painted and finished with care.
BONUS SPACES AND OUTDOORS
Downstairs, a spacious bonus area with its own fireplace offers room for a den, studio, guest suite, or home office. Step outside to a beautifully crafted tiered deck—private, generous, and perfect for entertaining. Beyond the deck, the backyard stretches toward the creek and bridge, offering a serene escape and room to explore. A two-car garage adds convenience and extra storage.

What the Owners Loved Most
For the owners, this home was all about connection — to nature, to family, and to the simple joys of everyday living. The backyard quickly became the heart of their lives here, a private retreat where towering trees framed evenings on the deck and deer and owls occasionally wandered by.
Inside, sunlight poured through the upstairs windows, creating the perfect spot to curl up with a good book. The walkable neighborhood made daily routines effortless, with schools just a short stroll away.
Some of their fondest memories were made hosting friends and family on the back deck, laughter mingling with the aroma of paella on the stove. This was a home built for gathering, savoring, and feeling truly at ease.
A POEM FOR THE HOME
I suppose we all feel unrecognizable on our surface
same, a home is not known till a hand is on the porch
through the woods, the wild, rise the hill to arrive
climb continues through the home
years pour from the door
in song verdant reach
a glow grows window green deep
we walk in trees as wells of light
we all hope that in us is a special pearl
that timing and place will reveal
day of pause among leaves ardor
extend hand and receive a tug, calm impulse of in
we want to be where warm rains come
to release and escape
where walls are soft and thoughts hold
delicate wind of owl flight
some sighs stay in your eye
it must be silk to pull together
house and place so gracefully
with ease the heart windows
spacious place release
we all have desire to be
where springs trail, trees wave
here talk has pause
taking in this place, breath holds
to a home known by hand
rise elegant ardor of arbor
bask long light
