Spacious All-Brick Ranch in Prime Location - A Rare Find! Nestled in a peaceful, low-traffic enclave just a few homes south of Notre Dame High School's football field, this solid all-brick ranch offers a rare combination of location, space, and thoughtful upgrades. Homes like this don't come around often! This is one of the larger ranch-style homes in the area, offering significantly more square footage than most. From the moment you step inside, you're welcomed by a spacious foyer featuring a convenient thru-hall layout and double guest closets, setting the stage for the home's open, easy-living design. At the heart of the home is a generously sized 19 x 13 country-sized kitchen with backyard and patio views, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Just off the kitchen, the expansive combined living and dining room provides a warm, versatile space perfect for gatherings or quiet evenings at home. The home has been freshly painted throughout, with beautifully refinished oak hardwood floors that add charm and warmth. Every light fixture has been replaced to enhance the home's aesthetic, and all electrical outlets and switches have been updated for modern convenience. The main level includes one and a half bathrooms, with a private half bath in the primary bedroom and a recently remodeled full hall bathroom featuring a new vanity, mirror, tile flooring, and toilet. The full-size basement offers even more living space, including a large finished recreation room and a spacious 25 x 25 unfinished area for ample storage space and workshop. Additional improvements include overhead sewers with a "Sump Pro" battery backup system, a new hot water tank installed in 2018, a boiler replaced in 2013, and central air added in 2016. The home also features durable copper plumbing and has been recently tuckpointed, ensuring both function and long-term value. Well-maintained and move-in ready, this home is a true standout in an unbeatable location. Whether you're searching for extra space, a quiet retreat, or a solid investment in a sought-after neighborhood, this one checks all the boxes. Don't miss the opportunity to make it yours.
