A Rare Gem in Ridgewood Park
This Nature Lover’s Retreat on Nearly ½ Acre is nestled in the desirable Ridgewood Park neighborhood of Garland, this spacious 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity to live in a peaceful, park-like setting—right in the heart of the city.
Set on an exceptionally large lot—nearly half an acre—this property is a true urban sanctuary. Mature shade trees, a picturesque body of water with a charming footbridge nearby, and lush green space create the feeling of a private retreat. Whether you're sipping coffee on the covered front porch, dining al fresco on the expansive back patio, or planning your dream pool or garden, there's space to relax, entertain, and grow.
Inside, the home welcomes you with natural travertine and wood flooring, abundant windows that fill the rooms with soft daylight, and a layout designed for both gathering and retreat. The eat-in kitchen features a cozy bay window with tranquil views—perfect for enjoying breakfast with a side of nature. Stainless steel appliances and a seamless flow into the main living room—with a fireplace as the centerpiece—make this space ideal for connection and comfort.
With three living areas, two dining spaces, and four generously sized bedrooms, there’s room for everyone. A portion of the garage has been converted into an additional living area that could easily transform into a private guest suite, mother-in-law quarters, or income-producing rental unit.
This home presents the perfect canvas for those with vision. Move in and enjoy the charm as-is—or bring your creative touch to elevate its character and style. Either way, you’ll be investing in a rare piece of land and lifestyle that’s hard to find within city limits.
The home is very warm and inviting. Virtually color changed photos have been added to show options.
