    What's special

    Completely Remodeled Ranch in a Prime Metro Location! This beautifully updated home in an established neighborhood has been thoughtfully renovated from top to bottom. Step inside to find a brand-new kitchen featuring quartz countertops, a pull-out trash cabinet, a spice rack, and a pantry cabinet with slide-out shelves, everything about this kitchen was designed with both style and functionality in mind. The main level also offers a fully remodeled bathroom with floor-to-ceiling tile, two bedrooms, and gorgeous refinished hardwood floors that add warmth and character. Tons of natural light fill the main level, and the location can’t be beat—just minutes from Waveland Golf Course, nearby trails, and the interstate. Whether you're commuting across the metro or enjoying nearby amenities, this home is perfectly positioned and practically brand new. Don’t miss your chance to make it your own! Every major system has been addressed—new paint, roof, updated electrical and plumbing, a basement tiling system that pulls water to a new sump pump, and even a new sewer line. Downstairs, you’ll find a newly added bedroom with egress, a half bath, and a generous family room. The basement ceiling has been left unfinished, allowing for easy inspection and your final personal touch. The foundation is in great shape and the unfinished areas will allow for full inspection.
