Take a stroll down Harrison Avenue in Lincoln and it’s easy to see why residents love their neighborhood.
Filled with large trees and beautifully manicured lawns, pride of ownership is evident with every lovingly tended rosebush.
And 1059 Harrison is a standout among the neighborhood’s neat and tidy homes and gardens.
Fronted by classic red brick, the 1991, Ron Ward built home has been cared for by the original owners, who didn’t miss the smallest detail.
“They are the original owners – I think that’s an important thing, and unusual in today’s time,” said Shari Thorpe of Century 21 Select Group. “This home is absolutely immaculate, and was built by a well-known, quality builder.”
Details like backyard recreational vehicle storage with security gate, and finished outdoor room, perfect for hobbies, a workshop or exercise area, will wow potential buyers.
The 1,800 square foot, roomy home is filled with details that will impress.
Vaulted ceilings, ceiling fans, and bay windows flood the home with cool breeze and light. The home includes an indoor sunroom, and an enclosed porch simply begs visitors to enjoy a tall glass of iced-tea and cookies on the verandah on warm summer afternoons.
Two outdoor, covered porches make for relaxing reading or entertaining areas as well.
“This area has a wonderful Trex deck,” Thorpe said. “You can see there is a lot of love put into this place.”
The home includes three doors that lead in to the tree and flower-filled backyard, that includes raised planting beds, just waiting to deliver the perfect tomato. Back doors from sunroom, great room and master include dead-bolted security doors.
The extra-large great room features a breakfast bar, which separates the area from the sunny kitchen, and includes a pellet stove.
With three bedrooms and two baths, both with double-sink vanities, and a handicap-accessible walk-in shower, the home is perfect for a young family, seniors, or for buyers who enjoy having overnight guests.
There’s no need to worry about storage in this home.
Both kitchen, garage and laundry room include numerous cabinets, and a large pantry adjoins the kitchen, for ample cookware or canned goods.
The master features three closets as well – plenty of space for his and hers wardrobes, and heaven for shoe lovers as well.
Perhaps the most important quality for any homeowner, is the safety and security one feels in his home.
“I love the location – it’s so quiet and the neighbors are wonderful,” the homeowner said. “I’ve made such great friends here. This is a great lot with great drainage – my husband was very careful when he picked the location of the property.”
The home includes an alarm system, new insulation, new fencing, and a three-year-old roof.
