Some homes have a great backyard. This one has a backyard you'll want to get lost in. Tucked away on a full acre in the heart of Hixson, 1242 Northern Hills Rd is full of character, unexpected spaces, and charming details that make it anything but ordinary.
This 3 bedroom, 2 bath home offers two separate living areas and storage galore, giving you plenty of room to spread out without sacrificing a place for everything. The kitchen has a fun, retro charm along with a feature you may not expect. Beautiful mountain views right from the kitchen windows where the sky is like a live picture, always changing. Most of the cabinetry is equipped with pullout drawers and baskets, making all them incredibly functional, too.
The main living spaces are warm and inviting, with plenty of natural light and room to make them your own. With two living areas, there's flexibility for a living room plus a den, TV room, playroom, or additional gathering space. New windows throughout bring in even more light.
Downstairs, the basement adds another layer of possibilities. Create a she shed, man cave, art or craft studio, workshop, hobby space, or use it for more storage space.
Then step outside, because this is where the property really comes to life. The backyard feels like its own little escape, with mature trees, established gardens, secret hideaways, whimsical touches tucked throughout, and a firepit area made for evenings outside. A new Trex deck overlooks it all, creating the perfect place to sit back and enjoy the surroundings. There's also a small fenced area that makes it easy to let the dog straight outside while keeping them contained. Two sheds provide even more storage for your tools, bicycles, etc.
With an acre of land, mountain views, incredible storage, multiple living spaces, new windows, a new Trex deck, and a backyard you truly have to see to appreciate, this isn't a cookie cutter home and that's exactly what makes it special.
