11350 28th Avenue NE

This Victory Heights rambler sits well back from the street, on a flat, private lot where a wooded ravine forms the back edge and mature trees filter the light all day. Sunny corners for morning coffee, shaded ones for late afternoon, and a quiet you notice the moment you step outside. Nearly a decade of thoughtful, documented work shows in every room. Bamboo floors run throughout. The primary suite carries a vaulted ceiling, heated floors underfoot, and a calm, bright spa bath with a rain shower, soaking tub, and tile work done right. Windows and doors replaced, attic and crawl spaces insulated, new furnace with enhanced filtration, on demand hot water, whole house generator wired in. Nothing here was deferred. Outside is where it opens up. A covered patio extends the season for grilling and gathering, with separate zones for working and for sitting still. Raised garden beds, pavers, pea gravel paths, and turf mean weekends are spent enjoying the yard instead of fighting it. An insulated, powered greenhouse waits for the gardener. The detached cottage out back is fully permitted and pays for itself, generating fifteen hundred a month for the past four years. Room for guests, aging parents, a home office, or steady income without leaving the property. Meadowbrook Community Center with its pool and tennis courts sits minutes away, along with schools, bus lines, shops, restaurants, and the Lake City Farmers Market. Close to everything and quiet enough to hear the trees.
