Classic design awaits in this 1975-built rambler, and the large living room is just waiting to become a haven of relaxation and gathering. A handsome wood-burning fireplace with floor-to-ceiling stone accents serves as the focal point, all while providing warmth and a thoroughly cozy atmosphere. You might decide to give the walls a fresh coat of paint, install new floors, add in a statement light fixture… and just wait until you get to arrange comfy furniture and decor that shows off your personal style! This space is ready to come alive and start a whole new chapter. 

From here, the layout flows into the dining area and open kitchen. The dining area is ready for its own fashion-forward makeover, whether you envision all-new everything, or just some new paint and your favorite artwork on the walls! In the kitchen, a thoroughly vintage-inspired aesthetic awaits. A smart design ensures you have great counter space and lots of cabinet storage, and everything is conveniently within reach making it easier to whip up dinner or meal prep for the week ahead. 

Flexibility awaits in this home’s 3 bedrooms, and each spacious room is ready for a refresh. If you have an extra bedroom, you might decide to transform it into a home office, a hobby room, a fitness center, or a den. You’ll find even more versatility in the attached one-car garage—this space includes a shop area that’s ideal for projects and storage (and you’ll find even more storage space in the outbuilding). 

This property’s outdoor setting features gorgeous mature greenery and a low-maintenance yard. You can choose to keep things simple, or you can put your imagination to work. Design artistic landscaping, create a patio or deck hangout, and enjoy having outdoor space that’s completely yours to cultivate. Additionally, alley parking promises convenience.
