About this home

Midcentury charm meets modern living! This beautifully restored 1957 brick ranch features original oak woodwork, distinctive architectural details, and thoughtful updates. The kitchen showcases preserved birch cabinetry and brand-new appliances, including a Fisher & Paykel cooktop. Refinished hardwood floors add timeless appeal. The full, dry basement offers a newly remodeled ¾ bath, expansive space for entertaining or recreation, and room for future finishing. Outside, enjoy the classic brick exterior, a well-maintained roof with gutter guards, attached two-car garage, and new concrete driveway, sidewalks, and steps. Situated on nearly one-third of an acre, the home features a fully fenced, private, park-like backyard bordering the library grounds and the Aquatic Center just steps away!
