The Story
17 Dickens Lane
There's a feeling you get the moment you step onto this front porch — a sense of slowing down, breathing deeper, and knowing you've arrived somewhere special. This home has been loved, cared for, and thoughtfully appointed, and it welcomes you with the kind of charm that's hard to put into words but impossible to forget. Gleaming hardwood floors guide you inside, where trey ceilings and a warm gas log fireplace greet you with quiet elegance. Sunlight pours into the sunroom, creating a bright, uplifting space that blends seamlessly with the kitchen — a place designed not just for cooking, but for gathering. With the sunroom and cozy sitting area right at hand, conversations naturally linger a little longer. The primary suite offers a peaceful retreat, complete with a walk in closet, walk in shower, and a walk in tub that invites you to unwind at the end of the day. A spacious laundry room and a thoughtful split bedroom layout add comfort and convenience to everyday living. Step out back and you'll understand why this home feels like a sanctuary. A generous deck and covered patio overlook a private, wooded backdrop — common property that stretches all the way to the Catoosa Wildlife Management Area. Your mornings begin with birdsong, your evenings settle into the soft hush of nature, and wildlife becomes part of your daily rhythm. The fenced yard adds comfort and security, while the encapsulated crawl space — with standing room, workshop space, and abundant storage — offers a rare and practical bonus. And then there's Fairfield Glade — a community that feels like a breath of fresh air. With 5 golf courses, 11 shimmering lakes (it is a 9 minute walk, 0.4 mile to Lake Dartmoor, Dartmoor Marina and beach), indoor and outdoor pools, tennis, pickleball, and an endless list of activities, it's a place where you can stay as active as you want or simply savor the peace and quiet. This isn't just a house. It's a place to exhale. A place to connect. A place to feel at home - around here, we call it ''The Front Porch of Heaven,'' and once you're here, you'll understand why.
