Pride of ownership shines throughout this well-maintained 3-bedroom ranch, lovingly cared for by the same owner for the last three decades - newer roof, siding, furnace and air conditioner. Conveniently located within walking distance to Hoover High School and the Northwest Aquatic Center, this home offers timeless character, thoughtful updates, and exceptional care. Inside, you'll find beautiful original woodwork, oversized windows that fill the home with natural light, and an updated wraparound eat-in kitchen with all appliances included. The main level features three bedrooms, including a spacious primary with a double closet, plus an updated 3/4 bath with a large walk-in double shower and removable showerhead. Charming built-in hallway cabinetry adds both character and storage. The unfinished lower level provides abundant storage, laundry with a NEW top-load washer and dryer included, a shower bath, and has been thoughtfully updated with basement waterproofing, updated electrical, tile flooring designed to help protect against future water intrusion, and a sump pump with battery backup for added peace of mind. Storm windows further enhance efficiency. Built in 1952, this home showcases the quality and craftsmanship of its era while reflecting decades of meticulous maintenance. If you're looking for a solid, lovingly cared-for home that's ready for its next chapter, this one is not to be missed.
