If a friend ever serves you freshly caught Walleye, leave room for seconds. It's one of the tastiest freshwater fish in the land, savored for its mild, sweet flavor, firm yet flaky texture, and culinary versatility. But as any angler will tell you, catching one is no walk in the park. As is often in life, the reward matches the effort.

The same can be said of this satisfying home, brimming (excuse the pun) with warmth and more updates than Apple's newest OS. Even in the heart of winter, the owners' landscaping prowess shines, notably in the backyard, where beautiful, mature plantings enfold recreational spaces.

If there's one amenity that deserves special mention, it's the full-block city park directly across the street. Because it's insulated from through traffic, neighbors and their children spill onto its grassy expanse from dawn 'til dusk, fostering what we so often long for in our fractured, digital society--an authentic sense of community, and a love for outdoor play. When you visit, make sure you stand in the driveway for a few extra minutes. You'll see it, feel it.(c)
