Welcome to 2871 Cardinal Drive, a two-story home in the Twelve Bridges neighborhood of Lincoln, updated inside and out with a backyard that steals the show. Step outside to an in-ground pool surrounded by concrete decking, a covered patio with a ceiling fan for shade, and a pergola, with multiple seating and dining areas bordered by raised plantings and wood fencing. Out front, fresh exterior paint, an updated covered porch, and a covered driveway set the tone for approximately 2,062 square feet of living space with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a loft-style space with custom built-ins, created by opening up a smaller bedroom. Downstairs, new flooring carries from the entry and front room back to a new kitchen featuring white shaker cabinetry, a large center island with pendant lighting, a farmhouse sink set beneath a garden window, and stainless steel appliances. The kitchen opens directly to the living area, where a gas fireplace with a wood mantel and built-ins alongside anchors the room and glass doors lead out to the patio. Upstairs, the carpet was replaced 5 years ago, and the primary suite offers a walk-in closet and a bath with dual sinks, deep green cabinetry, a separate tub, and a glass-enclosed shower, and the updated laundry room has a window, custom built-ins, and wood countertops. The big-ticket items are done too: all windows were replaced with UV-blocking dual pane glass, the AC/heat pump was replaced approximately 2 years ago, the water heater 5 years ago, and the roof tiles were replaced with new underlayment. Owned solar panels, an attached garage, and a landscaped front yard round out the home. Wilson Park and its playground sit just north of the neighborhood, with Joiner Parkway close by for getting around Lincoln.
