What an incredible opportunity and value for this wonderful Ridgewood Heights ranch-style home! It was originally a 3-bedroom home (per assessor) but was converted to 2 larger bedrooms. Newly painted inside, this home has newer heater, 2020 air conditioner and ducting, 2016 copper supply line from the street and 2020 interior copper plumbing, whole-house water filtration system, attic insulation, new gate and a SimpliSafe alarm system. The AC, washer & dryer, stove, and fridge are new within the last 2 years. It will surprise and delight you at every turn: A welcoming pathway leads up from the street to a yard of drought-tolerant flowering plants and an intimate front patio with warm flagstone paving. Enter the home through its covered porch into a sunny living room with hardwood floors. Its cheerful and bright mid-century kitchen has stainless appliances, including a 5-burner gas stove and dual oven, plus a fun (and working) rotary wall phone and original milk box. There’s even a cool over-the-stove pot filler. Plus, there’s a handy driveway-to-kitchen door, so loading groceries is a snap. The large master bedroom features a 3/4 bath. The second bedroom is also large and has two closets. The dining room with polished hardwood floors opens to a roomy family room with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and newer sliding glass door that leads to an extra-long driveway, 2-car garage with laundry, and enormous backyard. The back has a majestic tree in the lawn area, a mature pomegranate tree, grape vines, rain barrels to catch and save water, plus there’re raised planter boxes for growing your own vegetables. There’s a fire pit and sitting area, as well as a kid’s climbing wall and slide from the big tree. But best of all, this lovely home, with its large lot has so much potential for adding on, building up or adding an ADU. You’ll love living here!
