Nestled on a picturesque half-acre corner lot surrounded by mature trees, this charming 2-bedroom ranch offers privacy, character, and endless potential in a truly special setting. Inside, you'll find a surprisingly spacious floor plan featuring a sun-filled living room with a classic brick wood-burning fireplace, adjoining dining area, and beautifully refinished hardwood floors throughout much of the home. The eat-in kitchen has been refreshed with butcher block countertops, subway tile backsplash, luxury vinyl flooring, stainless steel refrigerator, and a new range, creating a clean, functional space with room for your own personal touches. Both bedrooms are generously sized with hardwood flooring, ample closet space, and abundant natural light. A full basement provides laundry, excellent storage, and endless possibilities for a workshop, home gym, or future finished living space. Outside, enjoy the detached one-car garage, long driveway offering ample off-street parking, expansive yard, and mature trees that create a peaceful, park-like setting. A walk-up attic offers additional storage. Whether you're buying your first home, downsizing to one-floor living, or looking for a property you can personalize over time, this home presents a wonderful opportunity in a desirable location with convenient access to shopping, dining, major highways, and commuter routes.
