    What's special

    Welcome home to this 1925 Ferndale ranch, recognized as one of Ferndale's Historical Society homes, and offering a wonderful blend of character, history, and modern day convenience. Perfectly positioned in one of the city's most walkable locations, you'll be just steps from Wilson Park and its popular dog park, a favorite neighborhood amenity for both residents and their four legged friends. Grab one of the area's best cheeseburgers at Little Ghost, just across Woodward, or head into downtown Ferndale to enjoy its vibrant mix of restaurants, coffee shops, and year round events. Inside, you'll find an inviting open concept layout where the living and dining spaces flow seamlessly into the kitchen. Natural hardwood floors extend throughout the main level, which features two comfortable bedrooms and an updated full bath with penny tile flooring. The finished lower level adds additional living space, complete with a spacious recreation area featuring a projector and screen, shuffleboard table, and couches that are all included with the sale. A bonus room and recently renovated half bath provide flexible space for guests, a home office or small gym. Spend the summer months relaxing in the fully fenced backyard. Additional highlights include a private driveway, garden shed, low maintenance vinyl siding and windows, and all appliances included. The hanging pot rack in the kitchen and the storage bench/coat rack in the mudroom will remain with the home. Previously configured as a one car garage, the shed space offers the potential to be converted back if desired.
