An updated split-level home with a fully finished suite on the lower level that includes a kitchenette, bedroom, living room and 3/4 bath, with a ground-level entrance (ADU potential, anybody?). This is the kind of opportunity you can hope and wish for until you're blue in the face, but that you rarely encounter. Add to the mix no HOAs, a fenced .21 acre lot on a tranquil cul-de-sac, and now we're talking about a home absolutely overflowing with upside. On the 1248sqft main level, you'll find 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. The primary bedroom includes an ensuite bathroom. The main level boasts new carpets and fresh paint. You'll also find new LVP in the open dining area and kitchen, which adds sleek functionality. A brand new mini-split was just installed, as well, allowing you to dial up comfort anytime. Wood-burning fireplaces in the upper & lower living rooms add a cozy touch. Just off the kitchen, a sliding door leads to a 8'x12' back deck with an ideal vantage over the private, expansive & fenced backyard. Grow the veg garden, design the landscape of your dreams, or admire your lawn...your backyard opportunities are endless. In the 2-car garage you'll find plenty of space to tinker when you're fully parked. Also: The washer, dryer, & water heater are in the garage, giving you extra functional interior space where it counts. Other major upgrades: vinyl triple-paned windows (one-way & noise-cancelling), and a newer electrical panel. Located off Ward Rd and under 1 mile to both Rt 500 to the north and 4th Plain Blvd to the south, this is a peaceful cul-de-sac in a great location. Come see why this is your next fantastic property. It makes sense in all the right ways...Take a tour and make it yours!
