Ferndale's leading home seller presents this updated ranch that blends timeless character with recent improvements, offering a light-filled interior, two comfortable bedrooms, and a spacious fenced backyard just minutes from downtown Ferndale. Fresh siding added in 2026 and a mature shade tree out front give the home great curb appeal, while newer windows installed in 2025 keep the interior bright throughout. Step inside to a welcoming living room with hardwood floors, coved ceilings, and a charming arched passageway that nods to the home's classic roots. The flow continues into a generous eat-in kitchen featuring ample cabinet space, a decorative backsplash, a sunny window above the sink, and brand new flooring installed in 2026. Just off the kitchen, a convenient laundry room provides everyday ease along with access to the backyard. Down the hallway you will find two nice-sized bedrooms with hardwood floors that share a full bath, with one offering great flexibility as a home office or guest space. Out back, the large fenced yard is shaded by mature trees and includes a storage shed, leaving plenty of open green space to relax and entertain. Wonderfully located close to downtown Ferndale's shops, restaurants, and parks with easy access to main roads. Welcome Home!
