Imagine winding up a quiet hill street in St. Albans and arriving at a place where every corner tells a story. This retro ranch welcomes you with its laid-back style and a dose of nostalgia, ready to be the setting for your next adventure. Step inside, and feel the embrace of a space made for gathering, laughing, and living—whether it’s weeknight dinners or weekend relaxation. The open-concept, single-level layout gives you room to breathe and settle in, with sunlight spilling through wide windows, making every moment feel a bit brighter. Out back, you’ll find a small private yard: imagine afternoons spent lounging with friends, impromptu BBQs, or cozy evenings under the stars. And with a classic carport, winter mornings will be just a little easier—no more scraping ice or clearing snow off the car. And now for the showstopper: head downstairs to find a tiki bar! This unexpected basement gem is straight out of a vintage paradise, just waiting for you to pour a drink, kick back, and enjoy a little island escape at home. This St. Albans ranch is ready to welcome you into a life that mixes style, warmth, and a touch of tropical flair. Showings begin 11/9/24.
