3805 SHELLEY Ln

Located in a great neighborhood in the desired Mantua/Frost/Woodson school pyramid, this home with main level bedrooms has been the heart of a family’s story for over 50 years. From the moment the owners opened the door, they were drawn to the view of the lush backyard, vibrant azaleas, and serene woods. The home’s single-story design with a full lower level offered practicality and comfort, ideal for raising children and aging in place. The spacious rooms provided ample space for a growing family and entertaining, creating lasting memories. Key updates: 2022 heat pump/A/C, water heater; 2021 windows on the back of the house; 2020 roof with transferable warranty; 2015 both main level bathrooms;

The owners have updated the home with care while maintaining its charm. The kitchen features granite countertops and refinished solid wood cabinets. The bathrooms have been updated with new tile and countertops. The finished basement has so many surprises in a circular flow. There is a large family room with woodburning fireplace and a walkout to the patio, a custom-built bar room, large spare room, utility room with storage, a true bedroom, a half bath, a laundry room with door to the outside, and evene a temperature-controlled wine cellar. The lower level provides so many options for you to make your own! The backyard is a true highlight, designed for relaxation and entertaining. Vibrant azaleas bloom each year, and the gazebo, patio, and detached deck offer a private retreat.

This home is situated in a tight-knit neighborhood with sidewalks and no HOA but an active civic association. Some events include ice cream socials, holiday walks, Halloween celebrations, and much more! In walking distance is the Cross County trail, St Ambrose School, and the neighborhood park. The neighborhood’s sidewalks made it easy for children to bike and skate while allowing parents to enjoy peaceful strolls and friendly waves from neighbors. Even during challenging times, this community came together—whether through small acts of kindness like bringing in the paper or clearing driveways after snowstorms. There are two community pools that neighbors enjoy (Camelot and Mantua). While the owner is sad to part with this home, she hopes the next family will continue to make memories here. This home is a place to belong—don’t miss the opportunity to make it yours.
