Talk about a home with a story! This solid brick ranch was originally built for Arthur Ehrat, the inventor of the breakaway basketball rim. A piece of basketball history that changed the game! With only two owners since it was built, this home reflects years of pride of ownership and offers plenty of space inside and out. Featuring 3 bedrooms and a spacious family room that opens directly to the backyard patio, there is plenty of room for everyday living and those big gatherings with family and friends. Need extra storage or workspace? In addition to the attached garage, you'll find a second one-car garage in the backyard perfect for lawn equipment, hobbies, a workshop, or additional storage. Solid construction, generous living space, a great backyard, and a one-of-a-kind connection to basketball history make this a property you won't soon forget. Don't miss your opportunity to become only the third owner of this special home!
