The outdoor living at this fully updated ranch is every bit as impressive as the interior. The covered patio has room for a dining table and a lounge area with a fireplace. Warm overhead lighting and the glow of the fire turn it into a true outdoor living room after dark, so dinner easily turns into a long evening with friends. Inside, the open floor plan with hardwood floors throughout flows from the living room through the dining area and into the new kitchen, featuring stainless steel appliances and a large island with a warm slatted wood accent. The updated bath has a subway-tiled tub surround and a wood vanity. The partially finished basement adds a giant family room with a brick fireplace and shiplap accent wall, plus a bedroom. In the unfinished area, you'll find the laundry, mechanicals and plenty of storage. Outside, there's also a landscaped lawn, raised garden beds, privacy fencing, and a detached two-car garage off the alley that has room for a workshop. The updates aren't just cosmetic, either. Many of the big-ticket items are already handled, with a 2019 roof, a 2022 furnace and central air, and 2023 electrical service. Inside and out, this home is ready for you to make memories.
