Fully updated ranch on a private, wooded 0.92-acre lot in sought-after Old Sherwood Forest. Every detail has been renovated with high-quality materials—all work permitted. Open-concept living and dining flows into a beautifully appointed kitchen. French doors and plantation shutters bring in natural light throughout. A cozy den and a bright, windowed bonus room add flexible living space. Primary suite is on the main level for easy one-story living. 3 bedrooms, 4 full baths, plus a finished basement with second laundry and inside parking for two cars. Enjoy a large elevated deck overlooking the wooded lot, with stairs down to a secluded stone patio beneath the trees. The private lower-level suite—with its own entrance, full kitchenette, gas fireplace, and off-street parking—has operated as a highly profitable Airbnb, offering turnkey rental income or multigenerational living.
