    What's special

    This is the one you've been waiting for! A rare gem, this charming ranch-style home features a finished attic and basement, all nestled on a fenced-in corner lot. With ample space and a 3-car garage, opportunities like this don't come around often. Step inside to an open and airy floor plan where the spacious living room complete with stunning built-in cabinets flows seamlessly into the dining area, kitchen, and inviting all-seasons porch. The main level also features two comfortable bedrooms and a full bath. Nearly the entire living space boasts hard-surface flooring, with the exception of the guest bedroom and the cozy basement living area. Upstairs, you'll find a freshly finished attic space with sleek hard-surface flooring, an excellent use of square footage that's perfect as a third bedroom, home office, or hobby/game room. Now, onto what might just be the best part of the home: the basement. This retro gem is a true time capsule! The original woodwork has stood the test of time, looking just as stunning as it did 75 years ago. Complete with impressive built-ins and a charming dry bar, this space is full of character. A 3/4 bath, laundry area, and additional storage complete this dry, structurally sound lower level. And let's not forget the garage space, this home offers a 1-car attached garage plus a 2-car detached garage, giving you plenty of room to tinker, store, or create your dream workshop. With all these features and more, what else could you ask for in a home?
