    What's special

    Check out this beautifully updated ranch-style home tucked into a quiet neighborhood in charming West Union! Built in 1962, this home has undergone an impressive list of improvements over the past three years, creating a fresh, modern feel while maintaining the practicality of a classic ranch layout. The main floor features 3 bedrooms and 1.5 remodeled bathrooms, along with new LVP flooring, sheetrock, trim, interior doors and windows. The completely updated kitchen is a standout with maple cabinetry, generous counter space and stainless-steel appliances that are included. A partially opened stairway and pass-through design help connect the kitchen and living spaces, creating a more open, conversational flow that's perfect for everyday living and entertaining. Both main-floor bathrooms have been beautifully updated, including an impressive tiled tub/shower surround in the full bath. Additional improvements include updated electrical and plumbing, making this home as functional as it is attractive. Step outside and you'll quickly discover one of the home's best features — the large, private backyard retreat. A newer wood privacy fence surrounds the spacious yard, while the large deck and adjoining concrete patio provide plenty of room for grilling, relaxing, entertaining or simply enjoying the outdoors. The attached one-stall garage also offers convenient access directly to the backyard. The basement provides even more possibilities, with an additional 3/4 bathroom already in place and plenty of space to create a large family room, office, workout area or additional recreational space. With extensive modern updates, comfortable one-level living, a fantastic fenced backyard and room to grow in the basement, this West Union ranch offers the combination of move-in-ready convenience and future potential that is hard to find.
