Sprawling ranch living in the heart of Homewood's Governors Park neighborhood. Set on a larger-than-average footprint for the area, this 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home offers an expansive and functional layout designed for everyday living and effortless entertaining. The main living space features a generously sized living room and dining room combination that flows seamlessly into a large eat-in kitchen, creating the perfect gathering space. Just off the kitchen, you'll find a convenient laundry room and a full bathroom, thoughtfully positioned for guests and daily use. Down the hall, four well-sized bedrooms are tucked away together along with a second full bathroom, offering a practical separation between living and private spaces. Outside is where this home truly shines. The backyard has been completely transformed into a low-maintenance retreat with turf in place of grass, allowing you to enjoy the space without the upkeep. An above-ground pool and swing set make it ideal for entertaining, relaxing, and making the most of warm weather days, while natural gas is conveniently piped to both the fire pit and grill for effortless outdoor hosting. An attached 1.5 car garage provides additional storage, rounding out the home's functionality. Updates include: roof, gutters, fascia and soffits in 2022, new furnace in 2026. A rare opportunity to own a true single-level home with space, flow, and an outdoor setup that's ready to be enjoyed from day one.
