About This Home

As of September 2025

Charming Beaverdale Ranch Just Steps from Ashby Park – All for $250,000! Tucked away on a quiet, low-traffic street in the heart of Beaverdale, this beautifully maintained 1954 all-brick ranch is a rare find - especially at this price point. Just a short walk to Ashby Park, you’ll love the unbeatable location and peaceful neighborhood setting. Inside, the home features original hardwood floors, three bedrooms, and a full bath on the main level. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances, including a Bosch dishwasher and LG refrigerator (both new in 2021), offering modern convenience while maintaining the home’s classic charm. The finished lower level provides additional living space and includes a three-quarter bath and is ready for you to make it your own. Outside, the fully fenced backyard is a private retreat with mature oak trees (recently pruned), a shed, and a small greenhouse - ideal for gardening enthusiasts. Additional highlights include a 30-amp RV hookup and an extra parking pad next to the garage. Homes in this condition, in this location, are a great find!
