Located on one of the most desirable streets in Harbor Highlands II section of Dover Shores, 1526 Ruth Lane is on the market for the first time in decades. The functional floor plan of this home spans approximately 2,218 square feet and features three bedrooms as well as three bathrooms (dining room easily convertible back to a 4th bedroom). The inviting kitchen with a built-in breakfast nook flows seamlessly into the family room, a multifunctional space which could easily serve as a home office, with access to the backyard. The spacious living area and the adjacent formal dining area feature walls of glass with views of the serene backyard. The outdoor space of this home is truly a “wow” factor – with an oversized Ipe wood deck, multiple sitting areas, a built-in firepit and custom mature landscaping. The primary bedroom is elegantly proportioned and features an en suite bathroom. The secondary bedrooms are both spacious and full of light. A mud room and an attached two-car garage complete this home. 1526 Ruth Lane is located within the Mariners Elementary school district and just steps away from the amenities of 17th Street, including restaurants and shopping.
