1401 Pine Needle Lane

Welcome to your own private retreat in Franklin Grove! Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac street in a picturesque community with a pond for fishing and steps from Dye Creek Greenway to Bellingham Park, this beautifully updated home offers the perfect blend of serenity, outdoor living, and modern design. The over 1/3 acre homesite is a nature lover’s dream—surrounded by mature trees and a peaceful creek that flows alongside the property. Follow the charming blue stone path to the water’s edge, unwind by the fire pit, or relax under the pergola and canopies while listening to the sounds of the creek. Entertain or dine alfresco on the extended patio accented by stone pathways, retaining walls, and bistro string lights that create an inviting evening glow. A wooden privacy fenced backyard, vegetable garden, and lush landscaping complete this tranquil outdoor escape.

Inside, the home is equally impressive with thoughtful updates throughout. LVP flooring, designer light fixtures, and sleek black door hardware create a modern, cohesive look. A new back door and updated blinds on most windows complete the home’s refreshed aesthetic. In the family room, a gas fireplace with Italian ceramic tile surround serves as a striking focal point, while the living room/office showcases built-in cabinetry. The dining room features elegant chair rail and decorative wallpaper, adding warmth and sophistication to the space. A fully renovated kitchen steals the show with quartz countertops, a brick backsplash, new cabinetry and pantry cabinet, electric cooktop with vent hood, double wall ovens, under-cabinet lighting, and a walk-in butler’s pantry. Completing the main level, the half bath impresses with a new vanity, mirror, lighting, and accent wall.

Upstairs, the primary suite feels like a sanctuary with a dramatic tray ceiling, custom board & batten feature wall, and a large walk-in closet with custom shelving and designer wallpaper. The primary bath offers dual vanities, a soaking tub with views of the wooded backyard, separate shower, and updated tile flooring, faucets, and fixtures. Secondary bedrooms are generous in size, including one with a custom accent wall and another oversized bedroom/bonus with a new closet door and ceiling fans. The hall bath was also remodeled with a new vanity, backsplash, mirror and tile flooring.
