5221 Hogue Rd, Evansville, IN 47712

This three bedroom bungalow on a deep, wooded, wilderness loving lot already impresses with its new updates and Craftsman Magazine worthy original interior details. When you see the gargantuan garage and long trail through the woods, it is as if you finally found the icing for your house hunt cake. Situated on the front of a 1.6 acre parcel on the Westside's Hogue Road, the home is masterfully landscaped in all directions, including a large area around the patio that overlooks the back yard. Inside, from the enclosed front porch, to the living room with rich wood work, to the formal dining with original built-ins, to the eat-in island kitchen, this home is ready - ready to help you rule out all of the other houses on your list. The main floor features two bedrooms and an absolutely gorgeous subway tiled bath. The basement with walk-up exterior stairs features recessed can lights, perfect for that partially finished functionality, and includes plenty of storage space. Upstairs, a home office rests at the top of the stairs, through which an ample master suite boasts two walk-in closets, and a master bath complete with separate water-closet room, tiled shower, and a claw-foot soaker tub. Back outside, the garage features 1,750sf of drywall-finished floor area, including a half bath, shop area, overhead storage, and office room. As Willie sang: turn out the lights, the party's over. The woods are lovely, dark and deep, and you have promises to keep - mainly, to buy this house before you sleep. Buy this house before you sleep.
