Description
5 Bedrooms | 3 Bathrooms | Oversized 12,600 SF Lot There aren't many homes left with this much character — and even fewer that pair it with a location this good. Built in 1928 and lovingly maintained ever since, 535 Cedar Street welcomes you first with a covered, wrap-around front porch, the kind built for slow mornings with coffee and evenings watching the neighborhood go by. Step through the door and the charm continues: rich hardwood floors, warm wood trim, and an easy flow through the main living spaces that only a home of this era can offer. The kitchen is the heart of the house, with tile flooring, generous cabinet and counter space, and stainless steel appliances that stay with the home, including the refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, and electric stovetop oven. Upstairs and on the main level, you'll find 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, giving a growing family, multigenerational household, or anyone who loves to host plenty of room to spread out. Head downstairs and the finished basement opens up as a true second living space — a cozy stone fireplace anchors a versatile rec room that's ready for movie nights, a home gym, a guest retreat, or whatever you need it to be. This home has been kept up where it matters most. A brand-new roof was installed in 2024, and comfort is easy in every season with forced-air heat and central air conditioning — a high-efficiency natural gas furnace handles the heating, while a dedicated heat pump unit keeps things cool all summer. The attached garage adds everyday convenience that a lot of homes from this era simply don't have. Outside is where 535 Cedar really sets itself apart. The beautifully maintained, professionally landscaped yard is fed by an underground sprinkler system and centers around a mature shade tree, decorative rock beds, and string lighting that turns the backyard into an evening destination all its own. The back patio is built for entertaining, and just steps away sits a new hot tub tucked beneath a brand-new pergola — your own private escape after a long day. All of this sits on an oversized 12,600-square-foot lot (90' x 140'), giving you far more breathing room than a typical in-town property. Location is everything here. This home is within walking distance of Chadron's grade school, middle school, and high school, as well as Chadron State College — a rare combination that makes drop-offs, pickups, and everyday errands effortless, whether you're raising a family or renting to students. And then there's Chadron itself. Tucked into the pine-covered buttes of northwest Nebraska, Chadron is a close-knit college town of around 5,000 people and the seat of Dawes County. The kind of place where neighbors still know each other by name. It's home to Chadron State College, a charming historic Main Street, and some of the best outdoor recreation in the state right out the back door: the Pine Ridge National Recreation Area and Nebraska National Forest, Chadron State Park, and Fort Robinson State Park are all just minutes away, offering hiking, fishing, camping, and horseback riding among pine-studded buttes and canyons. History buffs will love the nearby Museum of the Fur Trade, and the Black Hills of South Dakota are an easy day trip. It's small-town living with big scenery and a strong sense of community — exactly the kind of place people put down roots. Homes with this much charm, this much space, and this much location don't come around often. Schedule your showing today.
