Oct 15

3 min read

If you’ve been hunting for that unicorn combination of timeless mid-century character, major updates, and a massive yard in one of Lincoln’s most established neighborhoods, your search might just be over.

Nestled in the heart of the Eastridge area (Park Manor North) at 1300 Eldon Dr, this classic all-brick ranch has just hit the market at $349,900, and it packs a serious punch when it comes to space, style, and location.

Let’s take a look inside and out at what makes this property such a fantastic find.

The Sweet Spot: Space & Character

At first glance, this home boasts the solid, enduring curb appeal of a classic 1962 build. But step inside, and you’ll find that it has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated for modern living.

Main Level Living: Offering 1,504 square feet of above-ground space, the main floor features a sprawling living room complete with a cozy gas fireplace—the ultimate anchor for chilly Nebraska winter nights.
The Hardwood Secret: Newer carpet graces the main level, but rumor (and inspection) has it that gorgeous original hardwood floors are waiting quietly underneath the carpet in two of the bedrooms, ready for a future reveal if mid-century modern wood floors are your aesthetic.
The Kitchen: Clean, functional, and updated. The kitchen features contemporary countertops, durable Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) flooring, and a suite of newer appliances that stay with the home.

Room to Spread Out (Downstairs!)

One of the most impressive aspects of 1300 Eldon Dr is how much room you actually get. While the main floor gives you three comfortable bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms, the fully finished daylight basement expands your footprint dramatically—bringing the home’s total living space to nearly 3,000 square feet (2,992 sq. ft. total).

Downstairs, you’ll find a massive rec room (featuring its own fireplace!), flexible bonus rooms that make ideal home offices or hobby spaces, and additional bathroom facilities. Whether you need a media room, a home gym, a play zone, or a quiet workspace, this lower level can handle it all.

An Outdoor Oasis on a .40-Acre Lot

In many established neighborhoods, finding a large yard can be a challenge. Not here. This home sits on an expansive 0.40-acre lot that feels private, mature, and wide open.

Spend your evenings relaxing on the backyard patio.
Let kids or pets run wild in the vast green space (complete with an included playset).
Store your lawn gear and outdoor equipment easily in the dedicated storage shed.
Enjoy the convenience of a 2-stall attached garage.

An Unbeatable Eastridge Location

Location is everything, and Eldon Drive delivers. Situated just near 70th & A Street, you are minutes away from local shopping, dining, and parks. Even better for families, the property sits directly across from Pius X High School and falls within the Lincoln Public Schools district (featuring Eastridge Elementary, Lefler Middle, and Lincoln East High School).
