    Welcome to a home that's been truly loved and thoughtfully upgraded from top to bottom. This charming ranch offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and nearly 1,800 sqft of finished living space, blending classic character with modern convenience. Major updates include a new roof and gutters on both the home and oversized 2-car garage, updated HVAC (2019), water heater (2022), new smoke/CO detectors (2025), and a new garage door + WiFi-enabled opener. Inside, enjoy original hardwood floors on the main level and updated lighting throughout. The main level offers two comfortable bedrooms and a full bathroom, with a functional layout that flows easily from the living room into the dining space and kitchen. Step right out to the brand-new 12'x12' concrete patio and steps (2025) perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Downstairs, the basement was professionally waterproofed in 8/2024 and includes a sump pump with backup for peace of mind. The full basement finish, professionally completed in 10/2024, nearly doubles your living space with a spacious ¾ bathroom, second living room, and a dreamy primary suite featuring a large walk-in closet. A new gas line was added for the stove and a brand-new front deck (2024) adds to the home's curb appeal. All of this is nestled in the Sheridan Gardens neighborhood, just one street over from bike trail access and minutes from everything you need. All information obtained from seller and public records.
