Solid, charming, and full of thoughtful updates, this brick ranch is the perfect place to start your homeownership story. From the moment you step inside, the newer plank flooring, fresh paint, and cozy fireplace make it feel like home. The main hall's built-in storage keeps everyday life organized, and the beautifully updated bathroom is a true standout — a tiled shower with a bench and built-in storage, a new vanity, and shelving that means you'll never fight for counter space. The kitchen features warm stained wood cabinetry and opens to a flexible finished space currently set up for main-level laundry plus bonus storage — no basement trips with a heavy basket. Through the back, an enclosed all-weather room gives you year-round enjoyment overlooking the backyard and the park just beyond. Morning coffee with a view? Done. Downstairs, the basement offers original laundry hookups, an extra shower, storage, and a workbench area — ideal for hobbies, projects, or just having room to grow. Outside, a large detached garage handles parking and projects, while the second garage tucked under the house features a screen door for airflow and walkout access straight to the backyard.
