Spacious 3BR Ranch on a 0.47-Acre Corner Lot with Updates
This single-level ranch immediately stands out for its generous 0.47-acre corner lot and thoughtful updates — a rare combination in Fairview Estates. Approaching the home you’ll notice the wide frontage and mature yard, a flexible outdoor canvas that includes a covered porch, deck and established garden beds. With 1,622 square feet on one floor, the layout emphasizes comfortable, low-maintenance living and outdoor opportunities that extend the usable space well beyond the footprint of the house.
Inside, the kitchen has been modernized with solid-surface counters, a double oven and a wet bar — practical upgrades for everyday cooking and for hosting friends and family. Flooring transitions between wood, tile, vinyl and carpet define distinct living zones without sacrificing cohesion. The living room features a fireplace that anchors the floor plan, offering a warm focal point for gatherings and quiet evenings alike. Two bathrooms and three bedrooms keep household traffic simple and efficient.
Practical systems include a heat pump for heating and central cooling; the roof is shingle-style (roof age should be verified during inspection). There’s no attached garage, but the flat lot and driveway provide accessible parking and potential space for a future garage or outbuilding subject to zoning. Recent comparable sales on Willmeade Drive and nearby streets support a market value in the mid-$200s, making this well-updated ranch a compelling option for buyers who want outdoor room without the maintenance demands of a larger estate.
Beyond the property line, Fairview Estates delivers convenient access to neighborhood parks and everyday essentials. Hobby Park and Griffith Park sit just over a mile away, and West Clemmonsville Road is 0.2 miles from the property for quick commutes. Buyers with a flexible school plan or those focused on location and lot-size will find this house especially appealing. Whether you’re prioritizing immediate move-in readiness, rental potential, or a home with expansion possibilities, 4140 Willmeade Drive blends practical upgrades and rare lot size in a stable, balanced local market.
