Welcome to 608 E. 15th St. S. in Newton! This charming 2-bedroom ranch sits on a quiet, less-traveled street with a fenced backyard that backs up to a church lot. The spacious living room features a large window and opens into a nice dining room located next to the new sliding door, creating a bright and inviting flow. The kitchen and bathroom have been updated with modern appliances and fixtures, and the home features beautiful newly refinished hardwood flooring in the two bedrooms. The home also offers a GE gas stove, dishwasher and refrigerator, along with a convenient 2-car attached garage. Downstairs, the washer and dryer (Kenmore), utility sink, and deep freeze all stay, while a radon mitigation system is already in place. Outside, enjoy the newer composite deck, nice patio, and a great shed all in the fenced in backyard. Numerous updates provide peace of mind, including new windows in 2013, siding in 2014, composite deck in 2017, furnace and air conditioning in 2019, water heater in 2021, roof in 2023, and sliding door in 2026. The sewer line was also scoped and cleaned in August 2025. With its peaceful setting, thoughtful updates, hardwood floors, attached garage, and move-in-ready condition, this home is ready for its next owner to enjoy!
