Description

Where Beauty Meets Convenience-Just 5 Minutes from Midway in Garfield Ridge! This 5 bed, 2 bath all-brick home blends timeless character with modern upgrades-gorgeous landscaping, a 2-car garage with alley access, and a brick-paved patio with a fenced yard that makes every outdoor moment feel like a retreat. From the moment you step inside, you'll find yourself saying "Whoa." Bright hardwood floors shine under natural light pouring through oversized windows. Every detail inside is dialed in: custom tilework, quartz countertops, fresh paint, and spacious rooms that feel open and inviting. The updated bathroom features a stylish tile shower, and the kitchen brings form and function together beautifully-perfect for everyday living and hosting with ease. But it doesn't stop there. The fully finished basement offers a true second living area, complete with its own kitchen, full bath, bedroom, and large gathering space. There's even a lower-level foyer at the bottom of the stairs that creates a seamless and polished entry into the space-ideal for guests, multi-generational living, or just room to spread out. Bathrooms (Updated 2018), Kitchen Remodel (2018), Furnace and AC (2018), Roof, Gutters, Awnings (2019), Basement Bedroom Flooring (2021), Garage Floor (2021), Storm Door (2020) All upkept. All updated. This home delivers beauty, convenience, and space inside and out. Schedule your private showing today!
