Discover How to Have Your Dream Home—Without Losing City Perks or Convenience

Weekly Featured Home: 238 Jacaranda Dr, Battle Creek

Some homes stand out because of what’s inside.

 

Others grab your attention because of the location.

 

This week’s Featured Home brings both together, and adds an impressive amount of outdoor space to the mix.

 

Located at 238 Jacaranda Dr in Battle Creek, this beautifully maintained home sits in Jacaranda Estates within the Lakeview School District.

 

Priced at $375,000, the property offers three bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms, approximately 2,320 square feet of living space, and one of the larger lots in the subdivision at nearly 0.8 acres.

 

From the street, the charming wraparound front porch immediately gives the home character and creates a welcoming place to relax and enjoy the neighborhood.

 

Inside, you'll find a floor plan designed to give everyone room to spread out.

 

Formal living and dining rooms feature beautiful new hardwood flooring, while the family room provides a more casual gathering space centered around a cozy gas fireplace.

 

The spacious kitchen offers plenty of room for everyday cooking and entertaining, with stainless steel appliances and easy access to the surrounding living areas. Main-floor laundry adds another layer of convenience.

 

Upstairs, the primary bedroom creates a comfortable retreat with its own private ensuite bathroom.

 

Two additional bedrooms and another full bathroom complete the upper level.

But the living space doesn't stop there.

 

The finished basement with an egress window provides valuable additional room that can adapt to whatever your household needs.

 

It could become a home office, workout area, recreation room, hobby space, or a combination of several uses.

 

Outside is where this property really separates itself from many neighborhood homes.

 

The approximately 0.79-acre lot provides an unusually large amount of outdoor space for a subdivision setting.

 

The fenced backyard is ready for kids, pets, gardening, or entertaining, while a large cement patio creates the perfect spot for cookouts and summer gatherings.

 

And here's something you don't find in every backyard, an outdoor basketball court.

 

Whether it's used for family games, exercise, or simply another recreation area, it adds a fun dimension to an already impressive outdoor setup.

 

Several recent improvements also add peace of mind, including a new water heater, water softener, stove, garage door opener, upstairs bathroom vanity, sliding glass door, and the replacement of the previous deck with the large cement patio.

 

Location may be one of the home's biggest advantages.

 

Jacaranda Estates provides an established neighborhood setting while keeping residents close to Battle Creek restaurants, grocery stores, shopping, schools, and highway access.

 

At $375,000, 238 Jacaranda Dr offers an appealing combination of space, updates, outdoor recreation, and Lakeview-area convenience.

 

For buyers who want a neighborhood home but don't want to sacrifice a big backyard and room to enjoy it, this week's Featured Home deserves a closer look.
