656 HOFFMAN DRIVE

Looking for something a little different? This 3-bedroom contemporary-style home sits on a gorgeous 1.78-acre parcel surrounded by the Hoffman Heights community--yet it is not part of the HOA and has no HOA fee! With a unique layout, soaring ceilings and plenty of space inside and out, this one is truly a standout.

Step inside to a dramatic 2-story foyer and a bright living room featuring hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, skylights and a double-sided propane fireplace shared with the adjoining dining room. The dining room continues the open, airy feel with hardwood floors and vaulted ceilings. The bright eat-in kitchen features an island, includes all appliances and offers plenty of room for everyday meals. Two bedrooms and a full bath complete the main level, providing great flexibility for guests, family or those looking for main-level bedroom options.

Upstairs, the primary suite gets a level all its own--and there's plenty to love! Vaulted ceilings and skylights add to the spacious feel, while a private balcony offers a peaceful spot to enjoy the surroundings. The suite also includes a walk-in closet, convenient laundry closet with washer and dryer included, and a private full bath with a jetted soaking tub and separate shower.

And there's more downstairs! The full basement features high ceilings, a bathroom rough-in and plenty of room for storage, hobbies, future finishing or additional flex space. The home features oil forced-air heat and central air and is serviced by public water and public sewer.

Outside, the beautiful 1.78-acre setting is the real showstopper, offering a rare amount of elbow room in an established residential area. A long driveway provides parking for many vehicles in addition to the 2-car garage, while a shed with electric adds even more useful space. Distinctive exterior details include Baldwin brass light fixtures and Norman Rockwell vinyl siding. The composite deck offers great potential for outdoor living but is in need of repair. The lush, mature landscaping provides privacy in a park-like setting.

There's a lot to appreciate here, along with opportunities to update and make it your own. With its contemporary design, flexible layout, beautiful acreage and unusual setting, this is a property you simply don't come across every day. A one-year First American Home Warranty ($655 value) is included for added peace of mind.
