About This Home

As of April 2026

Back on the Market at no fault of the seller! Adorable 3-bedroom, 1-bath ranch available in Niles. This home has been well cared for and offers a comfortable living space with updates throughout, including an updated bathroom. It is move-in ready while still allowing room for personal touches over time. The 18 x 19 deck provides great outdoor space for relaxing or entertaining, and the fully privacy-fenced backyard is easy to maintain and ideal for pets or gatherings. A standout feature is the oversized two-car detached garage, which has been updated and includes brand-new gutters and a brand-new heater. Major mechanical updates include central air and a water heater installed in summer 2025, as well as a furnace that is approximately five years old, offering peace of mind for the next owner. A solid home with thoughtful updates and practical improvements throughout.
