Charming Brick Ranch with Tasteful Updates!
Welcome home to this delightful brick ranch, perfectly blending classic charm with thoughtful updates. Featuring a smart 3-bedroom, 2-bath layout, this home feels warm and inviting from the moment you step inside.
The main level shines with newer carpet and fresh paint throughout. The true standout is the spacious eat-in kitchen—bright and welcoming with an expansive bump-out window bay that floods the space with natural light. You’ll love the generous cabinetry, ample counter space, and room for a full kitchen table. Both the kitchen and bathroom have been nicely updated, and beautiful hardwood floors run throughout the bedrooms (and underneath the new main-level carpet).
Downstairs, the finished lower level offers excellent flexible space, including a ¾ bath, a fun retro bar perfect for entertaining, and a basement that was recently professionally waterproofed for peace of mind.
Step outside to enjoy a private, spacious backyard—ideal for relaxation, play, or gardening. The oversized 2-car garage with an attached shed provides plenty of storage and workspace.
Located in a wonderful, quiet neighborhood, you’re just minutes from shopping, restaurants, and all the conveniences of Altoona and Pleasant Hill. This is the perfect blend of comfort, functionality, and location!
