Rich in history and thoughtfully updated, this charming custom-built two-story home is truly move-in ready. Originally built in the 1950s, the structure was taken down to the studs and cinder blocks and completely rebuilt in 1988-beautifully transforming the original barn into the unique and welcoming home it is today. Situated on over 2 acres on Ottawa's north side in Wallace School District, the property features mature trees throughout the landscape, creating a private and peaceful setting. Outdoor living is a highlight with an in-ground heated pool, an attached pool house, and a newer poured concrete patio with outdoor lighting and a gas grill, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Storage and functionality abound with a three-car garage, complete with a side room and a walk-in utility room for additional space and organization. Inside, the home offers many beautiful features, including a fully updated kitchen with generous counter space for gathering, newer appliances, and a stylish tiled backsplash. A convenient side beverage room with a wine cooler (included with the home) adds extra charm for entertaining. Additional interior highlights include: Vaulted ceilings and an open oak staircase, a spacious master suite with walk-in closet, first-floor laundry, two fireplaces, and a welcoming tiled three-season room that is perfect for a Christmas tree, houseplants, or simply enjoying a quiet cup of coffee year-round. The attached pool room adds even more versatility, featuring a bathroom, shower area, and two changing rooms-ideal for summer gatherings by the pool. Since purchasing the home in 2022, the current owners have invested over $52,000 in updates, including: an electric heater in the sunroom (2022), utility room updates (including a tankless water heater and furnace combo, new well pressure tank and pump, water softener, and iron filter) (2023), a new mesh pool cover and full kitchen remodel with stainless steel appliances (2024), radon mitigation system, exterior cedar poles and lighting, new concrete patio, and a new pool filter (2025). This one-of-a-kind property combines character, modern updates, and beautiful outdoor amenities-making it a truly special place to call home.
