Tucked away on a spacious half-acre lot in the Town of Waukesha, this charming ranch offers the kind of space, privacy, and setting that buyers rarely find anymore. A long private driveway leads to a peaceful homesite while still being conveniently located near shopping, dining, and major highways. Inside, the home features inviting living spaces filled with natural light and classic character, including hardwood flooring and a comfortable layout designed for everyday living. The property also includes a full basement and an attached two-car garage, offering great storage and flexibility. With a newer roof, and recent updates, much of the heavy lifting is done. Homes with this combination of land, location, and value are becoming harder to find, schedule your showing before it's gone.
