About 208 Fernwood Dr
If you’ve been waiting for something special—here it is. Built in 1940 and well maintained, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath beauty sits on a quiet dead-end street with the Evansville Country Club as your literal backyard. (Talk about a view!) Inside, it’s full of personality—from original hardwood floors to arched cubby details you just don’t find anymore. The living room is warm and welcoming with a big bay window that lets the light pour in. The galley kitchen has been tastefully updated with modern cabinetry, tile backsplash, and newer appliance package. The dining nook? Adorable, with windows all around. All three bedrooms are a great size, and the third one has a full wall of closets, making it perfect for a home office or flex space. The finished walk-out basement gives you all the room you could want, plus a huge laundry/storage area that’s actually useful. Step out back and enjoy the private, tree-lined yard, oversized patio, and pergola. The seller is throwing in a $2,000 flooring allowance for the basement so you can make it your own.
