Welcome home to this Castlewood gem! Situated on a quiet street a block from the park, this absolutely adorable ranch on an unfinished basement is stylishly updated and 100% move in ready. The covered front porch invites you inside, where you'll find nine foot ceilings and beautiful hardwood floors running throughout the home. The light-filled living room is centered around a cozy gas fireplace, and the formal dining room is spacious and perfect for hosting dinner parties! Enjoy morning coffee in the super cute and functional nook with built-in bench seating. The kitchen also features a subway tile backsplash, plenty of pantry storage, and new flooring. Two sizable bedrooms, a handy mudroom addition, and a black and white tiled bathroom complete the first floor amenities. The basement is unfinished and perfect for storage, and don't miss the walk-up attic! This partially floored space is tall and has potential for finishing later on, or you can continue to use it for its abundance of storage. The backyard is flat and fully privacy fenced-- a perfect place for kiddos and pets to play and run while you wind down on the large deck! This is truly a special home in a great neighborhood.
