Owned and meticulously cared for by the same family for 55 years, this spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch sits at the very end of a quiet cul-de-sac on a private half-acre lot. True pride of ownership shows throughout the entire property. The main floor features a huge living room with a gas-burning fireplace and tons of natural daylight from updated windows, which opens directly to a covered cement patio overlooking the backyard. The spacious eat-in kitchen has hardwood floors and an updated sliding door leading to a wooden deck that's perfect for grilling and hanging out. All three bedrooms are on the main level, including one with an attached bonus room that works great as a home office, extra sleeping area, or a walk-in closet. Downstairs, the finished basement offers a massive second living space centered around a brick fireplace, ideal for movie nights and entertaining. Outside, the attached 2.5-car garage connects to the house via a covered breezeway—the perfect spot for a porch swing to relax out of the elements. Complete with updated gutter guards and updated windows, this home offers a lot of space and yard while being just minutes from Freeport favorites like award-winning Krape Park, Read Park Aquatic Center, local schools, and the historic Union Dairy!
