About this home

Some homes just have that feeling, the kind that makes you want to settle in & stay awhile. Tucked into a quiet Shiloh Woods cul-de-sac beneath a canopy of mature trees, this lovingly cared-for tri-level has been cherished by its original owners & feels like a little retreat in the middle of everyday life. Picture slow mornings w/coffee on the raised deck, dinners overlooking the trees and weekends spent playing, gardening or gathering w/friends in the beautifully manicured, park-like backyard. Inside, the tri-level layout gives everyone room to find their own favorite corner. Gather together on the main level, retreat upstairs where three bedrooms include a primary w/private ¾ bath, or head downstairs to a cozy second living space that opens directly to the patio & backyard. There’s plenty of original charm here, & some of the biggest investments have already been made. A lifetime roof, newer double-pane windows, furnace & water heater offer peace of mind while leaving plenty of opportunity to add your own style along the way. And when you do venture out, life is wonderfully convenient. Schools are nearby, including middle and high school within walking distance, while neighborhood staples Foss Market, Cafe Elite & Bruchelle’s are just around the corner. Costco, shopping, dining and freeway access are only minutes away. It’s cozy, established, surrounded by greenery & refreshingly free of an HOA. Come for the quiet cul-de-sac. Stay because it feels like home.
