Sometimes Location is Everything! Wonderful opportunity to own a home in the very desirable Historic Ragsdale neighborhood. Located in a corner lot in one of the most nostalgic areas of Merced, with semi private streets, lined with large trees and great character. The living room area has exposed ceiling beams, built in book shelves, raised hearth fireplace and plenty of natural light. This home also includes a formal entry, den with built-in bookshelves, dining room, remodeled kitchen, spacious laundry room, 3 Bedrooms and 2 Bathrooms. The exterior and backyard went through some renovations in 2019 to include: adding a new 2 car finished garage, front and read concrete walkways, patio, patio cover, driveway in 2021, new composition roof and gutters. Let's not forget the interior! In 2019, the kitchen went through a detailed remodel that included: New cabinetry with soft close doors and drawers, pot and pan drawers, Stainless sink, dishwasher, range, refrigerator and Stainless drop down range hood. New HVAC system and tankless hot water heater were installed in 2020 and exterior was painted in 2022, as well as some of the interior. The side yard does have room for potential RV/Boat parking or just entertaining. This home has great curb appeal, so don't miss out!
