About this property

Spacious home with views of Fontenelle Forest

The neighbors say that this was "The General's House." It is a beautiful, peaceful space for a quiet weekend. It is a wonderful place to listen to music, read, watch movies and play games. The main level includes a living room, hearth room, dining room, breakfast room, powder room, kitchen, office and Master bedroom and bath. The Master bedroom, dining room, breakfast room and sun room/office all have views of the forest. Upstairs are three bedrooms with queen beds. The upstairs bedrooms share one bath. Wild turkeys forage, chase each other like kids at a middle school dance, and roost in the trees as evening falls. Deer stroll the neighborhood and take afternoon naps in full sight from the house. Lately a fox has been seen crossing the hillside. The neighbor saw the turkeys form a group and face the fox down. Step outside in the evening and you may hear barred owls or barn owls chuckling and hoot-hooting.

The basement is spacious with couches and tvs. It has two carpeted rooms with college tv lounge sort of ledges where kids love to put sleeping bags. You will enjoy the nicely laid out, fully equipped kitchen. This house is in a neighborhood. 1.2 miles to grocery store, multiple restaurants, and shopping. 14 miles/27 easy minutes to the airport. Parts of the house have been updated,and parts are still original, with vintage 1969 chandeliers and cherub wallpaper. The main level includes updated travertine tile and beautiful warm wood paneling in the hearth room. The Master Bath is updated and has a walk in shower. Please note that some parts of the house are original. The entry, halls and powder rooms have 1969 wallpaper and elaborate 1969 chandeliers. (My 17 year old says they are beautiful and we should keep them forever.) The kitchen cupboards are also original. (and the dark stain has come back into style!) The appliances are all updated.

About the host

Hosted by Jill Archer

Host profile image
I (Jill) am a mom with one in college and one in high school. I grew up in a small Nebraska town. I lived in Buffalo, New York for 5 years and then was lucky enough to return to Nebraska and be near my family. I am a counselor and work with people who have post traumatic stress disorder. I love what I do, and I feel lucky to have this home in this beautiful neighborhood. As the years go by I hope it will be a place that offers peace, fun and connection to my family and others, too!

Why they chose this property

For at least 15 years my kids and I had looked for a home that was connected to nature. This house came available at a time when all sorts of things had to come together to make it they did! After seeing the house for the first time my 17 year old son said that it meant the most to him of any we had ever seen. The next morning I came back to look again. I sat in the sunshine and watched the hill for about 20 minutes and a sense of calm and contentment settled on me. Other visitors tell me that they have the same experience. Add some great music and you can get high on life!

What makes this property unique

There are several different areas to congregate in the house and this makes it a great place to share with kids and teenagers.
