About This Home
Handsome and stately, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath brick ranch offers a rare opportunity for true one-level living in the desirable Ponds subdivision. Set on a professionally landscaped half-acre lot on a quiet cul-de-sac, the home backs to protected HOA open space, providing exceptional privacy and natural views. The gracious floor plan includes a formal entry, large living room with fireplace, spacious dining room, family room adjacent to the kitchen, generous eat-in kitchen, and first-floor laundry. The expansive primary suite features two walk-in closets, a changing room plus bath. Two additional large bedrooms offer comfortable accommodations for family or guests. A full, unfinished basement and an oversized attached two-car garage provide excellent storage and future expansion possibilities. A new roof was installed in 2023. The home has been thoughtfully maintained and presents a wonderful opportunity to tailor the space to your personal style. The Ponds subdivision features three stocked ponds ideal for fishing, scenic walking paths throughout the neighborhood, and direct access to Waveland Park.
