About This Home

As of January 2026

Welcome to a charming Midlothian ranch that perfectly blends comfortable single level living with expansive outdoor space and rare garage options. This well-cared-for home offers three bedrooms and one bath on a generous 38' x 295' lot, delivering both privacy and room to roam. Bright, functional living spaces flow from the living room into a practical kitchen and a dining area that opens to the backyard, creating an easy, relaxed everyday layout ideal for families, first-time buyers, or downsizers seeking convenience without compromise. Recent major systems updates include a newer roof, furnace, and central air, giving buyers meaningful peace of mind and energy efficiency. The single-story floor plan keeps everything on one level and emphasizes simplicity and comfort. Three bedrooms are well-proportioned and share an updated full bath that balances classic ranch charm with tasteful modern finishes. Large windows fill the main living area with natural light while neutral finishes allow for effortless personalization. The kitchen accommodates everyday cooking and entertaining, and nearby space can be arranged for a home office or hobby nook without losing bedroom functionality. The property's outdoor amenities are its standout feature. The deep, nearly three-hundred-foot lot hosts a 24-foot round pool set into a generous patio area framed by a pergola for shade and outdoor dining. Mature shade trees and a private layout make the yard feel like a park of your own, with abundant room for gardening, play, or future additions. Practical outbuildings include a storage shed and two distinct garage options: an attached one-car garage for everyday convenience and a separate heated two-car garage that provides workshop space, hobby room potential, or a party room for outdoor parties! Positioned near local green space and excellent schools, this home sits close to Roesner Park, Central Park Elementary, and Bremen High School, making school commutes short and outdoor recreation accessible. Commuters will appreciate proximity to the Metra for direct downtown access, plus nearby shopping, dining, and community amenities. This Midlothian ranch represents a unique combination of single-level comfort, significant outdoor living, upgraded systems, and flexible garage space. It's a rare find for buyers who want move-in-ready essentials plus room to grow. Schedule a showing to experience the lot, pool, and comfortable flow that make this property a standout in the neighborhood.
