This 4 bedroom ranch with fantastic updates, is located just blocks from Merle Hay Mall, great eating options and entertainment! Come and take a look and prepare to be impressed by what you see. Three bedrooms await on the main level, which has beautiful hardwood floors. The bathroom was remodeled in 2014 and is beautiful. You will LOVE the renovation the owners did in 2012. Homes this size typically have smaller kitchens, but this renovation totally changed that. The new floor plan offers an open kitchen with a beautiful attached dining space with built-in shelving. It is beautiful! Step through the sliders to enjoy even more space on your screened in patio. The lower level is also finished and offers a 4th bedroom and a full bath. Owners installed a sump pit and pump so the basement stays dry. Other updates since 2000 include new windows on the main level, new roof, siding and water heater. Gutters have leaf guard system as well. Tons to love here, come take a look today!
