THERE ARE THINGS ABOUT A HOME YOU WILL NEVER FIND ON A LISTING SHEET.
Today’s open house at 1848 Westridge Drive in Dyer is a perfect example.
The homeowners have this place looking absolutely incredible, and on a beautiful fall Saturday like today, the natural light pouring through the windows completely changes the way the home feels.
College football is playing downstairs while the neighborhood comes alive outside. Kids are laughing in the park, people are biking and running along the trail, soccer practice is getting underway, and somewhere nearby somebody already has something cooking on the grill.
When you walk upstairs and look through the primary bedroom window, you can see so much of it happening directly behind the house.
That view is where one of the best features of this property really comes to life.
A huge fenced backyard gives you plenty of private space, but the back gate opens toward the neighborhood park, green space, tennis courts and walking trail. Families get the benefit of having all of that activity nearby without sacrificing their own backyard.
The house itself gives them plenty of room to grow into as well.
Built in 2018, 1848 Westridge offers 2,563 square feet of finished living space with three bedrooms, 2½ bathrooms, a separate office/den, an upstairs loft and a three-car garage. Nine-foot ceilings help open up the first floor, while the white kitchen cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances and newer carpet keep the interior bright and inviting.
Downstairs, the ¾ basement leaves the next owner with another opportunity. An egress window is already installed for a future bedroom, and the plumbing has been roughed in for another bathroom, leaving plenty of space to create a family room, theater, gym or entertainment area around whatever the next family needs.
Preparation for the sale started before the home ever reached the market. A third-party pre-listing inspection was completed, and approximately 95% of the items identified during that inspection have already been addressed.
At $469,000, the pricing becomes even more compelling when viewed against the neighborhood.
A home just eight doors away recently sold for $495,500 with less finished square footage.
Still, standing inside Westridge today makes the numbers feel like the least interesting part of the property.
A family will eventually wake up here on a Saturday morning with nowhere they need to rush off to. Their kids will disappear through the backyard gate to meet friends at the park while somebody starts breakfast in the kitchen. Soccer games will become part of the weekend routine, bicycles will collect in the garage, and summer evenings will stretch a little longer because nobody wants to come inside yet.
Years will pass, children will get older, and the rooms that feel so quiet today will fill with the ordinary noise of a family building a life together.
That is the part of a home nobody can photograph for an MLS listing.
