* * Highest & Best due by Sunday 5/24 at 8pm * * A fully renovated ranch with four bedrooms, a finished basement, and every major system replaced in 2026. This one exists. The kitchen sets the rhythm for the whole main level: granite countertops, soft-close cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and an eat-in space that makes the room feel settled from the first morning. Sliding glass doors open onto the back porch and fully fenced yard -- the kind of layout where coffee outside stops feeling like an occasion and starts feeling like Tuesday. That's the version of this house most buyers will fall for. The basement is what makes them stay decided. A fourth bedroom doubles as a private office or guest room, and a separate rec room gives the household a second living area that the main floor never has to absorb. Three bedrooms and two full bathrooms with tiled shower surrounds round out the main level -- clean, functional, and sized to grow into. With the 2026 systems already handled, the next owner steps into the renovation rather than toward it. Minutes from downtown Columbus, Reynoldsburg, and Canal Winchester, with Independence High School nearby. The commute works from every direction; the specs work from every angle. At this price and this level of renovation, this market doesn't offer many second chances on a home like this.
