An updated ranch on a corner lot in Unit 5 - three bedrooms and two full baths, all on one level. The kitchen centers on a butcher-block island, with luxury vinyl plank flooring and new appliances that have never been run. Refinished hardwood runs through the living room and all three bedrooms. Both baths have been redone, along with paint, trim, fixtures, and interior doors throughout. More recently: an updated electrical panel, 50-gallon water heater, and a replacement garage door. Full unfinished basement, detached garage, central air, deck and patio. Parks, shopping, and Oakdale Elementary are close by. Schedule a showing to see it in person.
