Address: 706 Lindell Lane, Mt. Lookout

Price: $975,000

This historic 1940s ranch, loved by the same owners for 35 years, underwent nearly a full renovation last year ahead of its debut on the market. Its new, modern upgrades boast top-grade appliances, refurbished hardwood floors, and a brand-new roof. None of that stifles the original, timeless look of this rustic home—listing agent Patricia Haskell says that it’s ideal for a buyer who will appreciate both its artistic craftsmanship and its inviting entertaining space.

Among the eight houses on Lindell Lane—just blocks away from Mt. Lookout Square—this non-traditional home stands out as the only ranch-style residence on the street. Its 2,792 square feet features three bedrooms, three bathrooms, two wood-burning fireplaces, and a tranquil courtyard.

Walking up the stone steps to 706 Lindell Ln., the custom-built multi-panel double front doors include windows strategically placed to let the sun shine through and reflect onto a set of interior doors with the same paneling pattern in the front hall. The refinished hardwood floors guide you into the spacious Shaker-style kitchen, renovated by Warren County cabinetmaker David T. Smith, and feature quartz countertops and state-of-the-art Café appliances. Hovering above the dining space adjacent to the kitchen, a vintage scarlet chandelier provides warm light for diners.

While the primary bathroom has been updated, the other two bathrooms retain their original Rookwood-style vintage glory. The first—bright yellow and seafoam—includes a built-in vanity, plenty of storage, and a spacious bathtub. The other—peach and terracotta—includes a hideaway shower.

In the primary suite, the most eye-widening feature of this space is the Hollywood-style dressing room, complete with a vanity and an ingenious double closet. Behind the regular hanging rod and shelf, a sliding door opens to reveal a massive seasonal closet.

Outside, there’s a charming walled courtyard, complete with a stone fountain, where you can enjoy lush greenery that includes pink dogwood and Japanese maple trees. The patio there is perfect for entertaining guests, your very own secret garden.
