About this home

Lovingly held by the same family for 66 years, this impeccably maintained ranch is a rare gem and a true testament to pride of ownership. Offering 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a versatile partially finished basement, this home beautifully blends timeless mid-century charm with thoughtfully curated, high-end updates. A welcoming stamped-concrete entry leads into a sun-drenched living room, where a large bay window fills the space with natural light. Rich hardwood floors flow throughout the main-level living, dining, and kitchen spaces, while custom Hunter Douglas shades on every window create a warm, cohesive aesthetic. At the heart of the home is a stunning custom kitchen by Autumn Woods, thoughtfully designed to blend timeless elegance with exceptional functionality. Premium cherry cabinetry, Corian countertops, a movable island for added storage and flexibility, a dedicated pantry, garbage disposal, and stainless-steel appliances create a space that's equally suited for everyday living and entertaining. A beautiful stained-glass accent above the sink adds timeless character, while counter seating offers the perfect place for casual dining and integrated USB outlets provide modern convenience. Three comfortable bedrooms feature plush carpeting over beautifully preserved original hardwood floors, along with custom-organized closet systems that maximize storage. Both full bathrooms have been beautifully redesigned by the renowned Drury Design, showcasing quality craftsmanship, timeless finishes, and thoughtful attention to detail. The expansive partially finished basement provides exceptional additional living space, featuring a spacious carpeted recreation room, a second full bathroom, and an oversized utility/laundry room complete with a newer washer and dryer, utility sink, deep freezer, and adjustable wall shelving for outstanding storage. A separate versatile bonus room offers endless possibilities as a workshop, hobby room, home gym, or could easily be converted into a fourth bedroom. Major mechanical updates provide lasting peace of mind, including a 5-year-old HVAC system (serviced twice annually), a tankless water heater, Culligan water purification system, reliable sump pump, updated electrical with a whole-home surge protector, and a whole-house Kohler generator. Step outside to your own private oasis. The meticulously landscaped backyard is the result of decades of thoughtful cultivation, showcasing lush gardens, mature plantings, an outdoor speaker system, a pristine patio with a pergola, and a built-in bench. An outdoor Viking Professional grill with side burners creates the perfect setting for backyard cooking and entertaining.
