1597 Princess Circle NE

Perched atop one of Sagamore Hills' gentle rises, this classic all-brick ranch feels both stately and welcoming as you approach, framed by mature dogwoods and oaks and set back on a rare, private half-acre lot. The setting is a gardener's dream, with rich soil, established beds, and the kind of privacy that is hard to find this close to the city. Step inside and the home opens up with an airy, easy flow that has served real life beautifully, everything you need on the main level, with a finished basement that flexes for play, work, guests, and storage. Sunlight is a theme here. The large picture window in the living room pulls the outdoors in, with calming views of greenery and neighborhood charm, while three Solatube fixtures add even more natural light to the main living spaces. Original solid oak floors bring warmth and staying power, a quiet reminder of the home's mid-century craftsmanship. Renovations over time have enhanced the openness and comfort, including a fully finished basement and beautifully updated baths with travertine finishes. Downstairs, the basement becomes a true second living space, ideal for movie nights, game days, or a teen hangout, plus exceptional storage, including space for that extra refrigerator. The layout offers the flexibility buyers want today, options for a dedicated home office, guest bedrooms, hobby space, and easy everyday living, with bedrooms conveniently close together on the main level. Thoughtful updates add confidence, including a newer architectural shingle roof (2021), premium vinyl windows throughout (2023), and a comprehensively wired, professionally monitored security system. Outside, the landscaped yard delivers seasonal color and texture, from dogwoods and hostas in spring to camellias in early winter, and do not miss the tucked-away garden bench that makes a perfect quiet moment. This is the kind of home that holds big celebrations and ordinary, happy routines. It is ready for its next chapter.
