Welcome to 5230 Hollow Wood... and unlike Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, the only thing you'll lose here is the desire to keep house hunting. Tucked inside the peaceful Suson Villas community, this beautifully maintained 3 bed, 3 bath villa has been lovingly cared for by its original owner since 2013, and it shows at every turn. The extremely established landscaping sets the scene before you even step inside, while the charming front porch practically begs for a quiet morning coffee... or a crisp October evening, if that's more your speed. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings, rich hardwood flooring + an airy open layout create a home that's anything but gloomy. The great room centers around a cozy gas fireplace with walkout access to the deck, while the formal dining room offers enough ceiling height to make your holiday tree feel right at home. The kitchen is the heart of it all, featuring warm wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a center island, built-in breakfast nook + a built-in desk that's equally suited for paying bills... or becoming the official junk drawer headquarters. The adjacent laundry room adds even more convenience with built-in cabinetry, a utility sink and washer + dryer. The main-floor primary suite continues the vaulted ceilings and offers a beautifully designed ensuite complete with a double vanity, walk-in shower, walk-in soaking tub, accessible features + a spacious walk-in closet with built-in shelving. A second bedroom provides flexibility for guests, a home office, or your next creative hobby. Downstairs, a stair lift offers easy access to a sprawling recreation room filled with natural light, an additional bedroom, full bath, abundant storage, and walkout access to a covered patio tucked beneath the deck. Peaceful, private, and just the right amount of secluded... no Headless Horseman in sight. Perfectly positioned between Suson Park and Quail Creek Golf Course, you'll enjoy nature at your doorstep while remaining just minutes from highways, the airport, downtown, lakes, parks, Twisted Tavern, Syberg's, Smokee Mo's + more. Don't sleep on 5230 Hollow Wood... this story won't stay on the shelf for long. Cheers!

Every once in a while, a home comes to market that simply can't be compared to anything else. This extraordinary home incorporates an original 1879 historic cottage rumored to have served as a stop on the Underground Railroad. Through an extensive architectural restoration, it was thoughtfully transformed into a stunning energy-efficient residence that perfectly blends history with modern design. Created for effortless single-story living, this immaculate 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home features wood floors, original exposed brick, fireplace, custom blinds, and high-end finishes throughout. At the heart of the home is a striking U-shaped floor plan centered around a private interior courtyard patio, creating an exceptional indoor/outdoor living experience with direct access from both the living room and kitchen area. The sleek, open kitchen is beautifully appointed with new quartz countertops, premium appliances, including an induction range, and abundant workspace for cooking and entertaining. Outside, the large and professionally landscaped, fully fenced backyard offers raised garden beds and a two-car garage. The poured concrete basement provides incredible expansion potential with tall ceilings, an egress window, and plumbing already roughed in for a future bathroom, making it ideal for adding another bedroom and additional living space. Meticulously maintained and truly unlike anything else on the market, this is a rare opportunity to own a home that seamlessly combines architectural significance, modern efficiency, and exceptional design in the heart of historic Benton Park.
