5306 Wellington Dr sits on a little over a quarter acre in Windsor Park, and the backyard is the reason to come see it. The yard is fenced, private, and backs to greenspace with views of trees and a seasonal creek. Inside, you get three bedrooms, an updated kitchen, and a lot of natural light. If you want room to breathe this close to Mueller and Manor Road, put this one on your list.
The home is a single-story brick ranch built in 1960. It has 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and about 945 square feet per public records. The lot is 12,405 square feet. That ratio is what the numbers undersell: a modest, easy-to-keep house with more outdoor space than most homes this close to the center of town.
Why 5306 Wellington Dr Stands Out
Plenty of Windsor Park homes are original mid-century houses on generous lots. What sets 5306 Wellington Dr apart is where the lot ends. Instead of a neighbor’s fence, the back of the yard opens to greenspace, trees, and a seasonal creek. That gives you a quieter, more private backyard than the house size suggests.
At the time of listing, the seller offered a 2-1 rate buydown with an acceptable offer. In plain terms, the seller pays to lower your mortgage interest rate for the first two years. Your rate is two percentage points lower in year one and one point lower in year two. By year three, you are at your regular rate. Ask your lender how it fits your loan, and check with Lisa that the offer still stands.
A Simple, Single-Level Layout
Everything is on one level, with no interior steps. The dining area sits between the living room and the kitchen. Large sliding doors open from the dining area straight out to the back deck, so the yard feels like part of the house.
All three bedrooms have ceiling fans. There is no dedicated office, so if you work from home, the third bedroom is the natural spot for a desk. The renovated hall bathroom has quartz counters.
An Updated Kitchen and a Bright Living Room
The kitchen is a galley layout with quartz countertops, good storage, and a gas range. Galley kitchens are efficient to cook in. If you like cooking over a real flame, the gas range is a plus.
The main living area gets great natural light. The open floor plan keeps the living, dining, and kitchen spaces connected, and the dining area doubles as a breakfast spot. The MLS lists a refrigerator and dishwasher among the appliances, so confirm with your agent which items convey.
A Big, Private Backyard That Backs to Greenspace
This is the part of the home you will use most. The backyard is level, fenced, and planted with native plants, which need less water and less fuss. Because it backs to greenspace, the yard feels open rather than boxed in.
Picture morning coffee on the deck, a vegetable garden, or a dog with real room to run. Friends over on a fall evening fit easily. There is also a front porch for slower mornings out front.
Thoughtful Updates and Features
The kitchen and hall bathroom have both been updated with quartz counters. The house has central air and heat, ceiling fans throughout, and natural gas service. Fiber optic internet is listed as available, which matters if you work from home.
Parking is easy. You have a covered carport plus a driveway and off-street space for up to four cars. There is no garage. Laundry is in an outside closet, and the MLS lists a washer and dryer. The house is brick on a slab foundation with a composition shingle roof and aluminum-frame windows.
One thing to know up front: the MLS shows this property in a FEMA 100-year flood plain. If you finance with a federally regulated lender, flood insurance will typically be required. Get an insurance quote early in your search. Ask for an elevation certificate and any flood history so you can decide with clear eyes.
