Property Description

Nestled at the end of a tranquil dead-end street, this delightful ranch home sprawls across 1.2 acres in the heart of the south side. Its history is marked by the care and attention of a single owner who has lovingly maintained it for the past 50 years. Purposefully designed, the house maximizes winter sunlight while minimizing summer heat—a testament to its thoughtful construction. As you walk in the front door, you will be greeted by a large formal living room with high ceilings. Up a couple of steps, a hallway leads to the living area with woodburning fireplace, an eat-in kitchen, and an inviting three-season porch offering stunning city views. Continuing down the hall reveals two bedrooms, a full bath, and a primary bedroom with a private ½ bath complete with beautiful mahogany cabinets. The unfinished walkout basement is a treasure trove of storage space and surprises. Discover a workshop area, concealed cellar, a 3/4 bath, another cozy woodburning fireplace, and a well-equipped laundry room with additional built-ins. The expansive property is adorned with fruit trees (cherry/peach/apple/apricot), raspberry bushes, and grape vines, adding natural charm and the joy of homegrown harvests. This home places downtown and the airport within a quick 10-minute commute, while also enjoying proximity to several schools, making it the perfect location!
