Property Description
An artist’s retreat in the heart of Tara Hills. This single-level 3 bed, 1.5 bath home has been lovingly maintained, but it is the outdoor setting that makes 2955 Cornelius truly memorable. Created over time by its artist-owner, the landscape was approached much like a canvas: layering stone, texture, color, sculptural plantings and intimate places to pause, gather and take in the light. The rear fence line was intentionally lowered to preserve the open outlook beyond the yard, creating a rare sense of space with no rear homes directly in view. Butterflies drift through the garden, sunsets wash the landscape in warm evening color, and the spa became a favorite daily ritual for the owner. Multiple outdoor destinations invite you to enjoy the setting from morning through evening, including a dining patio directly off the kitchen for easy indoor-outdoor living. The primary bedroom also opens to the backyard through a double-pane sliding glass door, placing the garden and spa just steps away. Inside, the comfortable one-level floor plan features a wood-burning fireplace and reflects years of thoughtful care. Meaningful improvements include a permitted roof replacement in 2019, documented electrical main/meter-panel improvements in 2022, and a new 50-gallon water heater in 2024.. The garage served as both the owner’s art studio and a home for his classic car, a fitting extension of a property designed to inspire creativity. Tucked away but conveniently close to I-80 access, shops, and restaurants. With its expressive gardens, open horizon, spa retreat and easy indoor-outdoor flow, this is a Tara Hills home with a character and sense of place that cannot simply be recreated.
