Modern style meets everyday convenience in this beautifully updated 2-bedroom, 1-bath ranch situated on a spacious corner lot in central Waterloo. Everything on the main level has been thoughtfully redesigned throughout — this home offers clean, contemporary finishes, an open layout, and incredible potential for future expansion with a large unfinished basement. Step inside to an inviting living room highlighted by a new picture window, new flooring, lighting, and fresh paint — creating a bright, airy backdrop for stylish living. The space flows effortlessly into the stunning new kitchen featuring sleek white cabinetry, quartz countertops, striking tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and a generous center island with seating. It’s the perfect spot for gathering, cooking, and entertaining. Two nicely sized bedrooms, one anchored by a show-stopping fireplace are adjacent to the fully updated bathroom showcasing modern black fixtures, fresh finishes, and a clean, classic style. The lower level is a blank canvas — 700+ sq ft (approx.) of open, unfinished space ready to be tailored to your needs: future living room, home gym, workshop, or storage. The attached garage adds everyday convenience, while the extended driveway offers excellent off-street parking. Outdoors, enjoy a large yard with plenty of room to garden, relax, or play. The covered front porch adds charm and creates a welcoming entry, while the darker exterior palette provides striking curb appeal. This turnkey home perfectly blends style, comfort, and functionality — with room to grow. Schedule your private showing today!
