Beautifully remodeled ranch offering an exceptional blend of style, comfort, and functionality. This spacious 3-bedroom, 3-bath home features multiple living and dining areas, including an open-concept kitchen, dining, & living space centered around a cozy fireplace—perfect for everyday living & entertaining. The primary suite offers a private retreat with dual closets and a ¾ bath. Two additional generously sized bedrooms, a full bath, a half bath, and a convenient main-floor laundry room complete the main level. While the original radiant ceiling heat remains available, three newer mini-split systems provide efficient heating and cooling throughout the home. The expansive lower level offers incredible flexibility with two additional living areas, a second kitchen, a partial bath with space for a hot tub, and a non-conforming fourth bedroom or office. With its separate living spaces, the basement presents excellent potential for an in-law suite or apartment setup. Recent updates include all new light fixtures, a new front entry door system, and beautiful wood flooring throughout the main-floor entertainment area. Outside, enjoy a new deck overlooking the backyard, along with two storage sheds for added convenience. The attached garage offers two direct entrances into the home for easy access. With its impressive square footage, thoughtful updates, and versatile floor plan, this property is a true hidden gem that must be seen to be appreciated.
