Welcome home to this charming all-brick rancher featuring 3 spacious bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms on a beautiful, level lot of over a half acre that backs to open farmland, offering a peaceful, country-like setting just minutes from town conveniences. The main level boasts a eat-in kitchen and dining area with a cozy woodstove, perfect for gatherings and everyday meals, while the generously sized bedrooms showcase hardwood flooring for timeless appeal. A newer full bathroom with a walk-in shower adds modern comfort, and a set of stairs leads to the attic, providing tons of additional storage space. Outside, you will appreciate the convenience of the 1-car garage and the expansive, flat yard ideal for play, gardening, or simply enjoying the views of the surrounding farmland. The full basement is unfinished and ready for your vision—storage, workshop, or future living space—making this solid brick rancher a wonderful opportunity to make your own in Hampstead.
