Tucked inside beloved Ella Lee Forest, this beautifully renovated ranch pairs quiet, cul-de-sac-style living with a prime in-city location just 10 miles from Downtown. Taken down to the studs in 2025, the home is essentially new: roof, gutters, energy-efficient windows and doors; full electrical (new panel/wiring), plumbing with PEX, HVAC and insulation; SPC wood flooring, quartz counters, stainless appliances, fresh paint and stylish fixtures—plus Ethernet throughout and a stamped-concrete patio for easy outdoor living. Wide, tree-lined streets encourage daily walks and bike rides; a pedestrian bridge connects to Candlelight Park and Oak Forest Elementary. With only one neighborhood entrance, traffic stays light, community events abound, and the vibe is welcoming. Immaculate, move-in ready, and thoughtfully finished after 30+ years of ownership—this is the rare turnkey home in a cherished, small-community setting.
