Impeccably updated ranch with a basement is completely move-in ready & waiting for you to start making memories! Located in a unique spot with no residential neighbors just off S Anthony Blvd, this 2 bedroom, 1 full bath home has been recently refreshed & is a must see! Classic yet attractive exterior is vinyl siding with brick base & an inviting covered front porch where you can chat with friends in the shade. Select landscaping elements are neat & tidy with room for you to plant your own selection of summer flowers or accent bushes. Inside you’ll find a bright & welcoming atmosphere complemented by the new wood flooring & neutral color palette—this is the ultimate blank canvas awaiting your personal style! You might never guess this home was built in 1928, but the high quality & detailed woodwork alongside iron air vents & original brass doorknobs adds some charm & character especially in combination with the renovated facelift—the perfect mix of old meets new! Front door opens to sizable main living room with exposed wood pillars linking the dining room & a bonus den/home office/study/sitting room behind French doors. (Would make a possible 3rd bedroom in a pinch but no closet.) Head on back to the elegant formal dining room perfect for entertaining! Built in storage can be found in the wood pillar room dividers & there’s also a built-in window seat with drawers. 2 good sized bedrooms are off the dining room, 1 with a glass door. Kitchen off dining has abundant cabinetry with modern hardware & backsplash, even space for possible casual dining nook. Stylish full bath is on trend with black hardware accents, porcelain pedestal sink with round mirror & tub/shower combo. Stairs off kitchen lead down to unfinished basement with utilities & sink, lots of space for storage & potential to turn this into a usable room according to your needs. Door off kitchen leads to a slightly elevated covered back/side porch with another door off the stairway opening to the ground level. Plenty of room for outdoor fun & activities! Mere minutes from both US-27 & IN-930 with easy access to nearby shopping, dining & groceries. You can also easily jump on the nearby Maumee Pathway which is part of the FW Rivergreenway, a fantastic set of interlinked pathways & trails for running, walking or biking. No matter how you look at it, this is an amazing opportunity to call your own—don't let it slip away!
