This custom-built masonry ranch home offers an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking single-story living with solid construction and substantial potential for personalization. A front ramp welcomes you to the covered entry providing easy access to the main level. The living room has a large picture window and a coat closet and flows into the formal dining room via an arched doorway. The kitchen offers the perfect opportunity to put your personal touch on the space, featuring room for a small breakfast table and a convenient side door that leads directly to the exterior walkway and garage. The main level also includes two bedrooms and a hall bath complete with a tile floor and a shower-tub combination. A full set of stairs provides easy access to the expansive attic, which offers abundant storage space or the future potential for expansion. The lower level includes an older finished recreation room that can be reimagined for additional living space, a summer kitchen, a full bathroom featuring a stall shower, and a storage and utility room. An exterior exit with concrete stairs leading up to a covered patio makes moving furniture in and out a breeze. The property is situated on a corner lot complete with a row of hedges, a detached one-car garage, and off-street parking for two vehicles. The backyard is the perfect spot for summer barbecues or playing ball. The convenient location is a highlight and is just a few blocks from the train station and a short distance from Keswick Village, the local bird sanctuary, and Ardsley Park, which offers ten acres of recreational amenities including a playground, sports courts, ball fields, and a popular winter sledding hill. Sought after Copper Beech Elementary is the icing on the cake. Hurry!
