About This Home

As of January 2025

This wonderful West Slope ranch home offers period charm + modern efficiency, a convenient location with easy access to amenities, and design through every room! The home has been painted inside and out. Lighting from Schoolhouse, designer colors and custom built-ins make the home feel custom and comfortable. Three cozy bedrooms on the main level with loads of natural light bring the outside in. The bathroom, remodeled in 2022, features a custom walnut vanity and modern tile. The cozy living room with wood paneling, built-in cabinetry, a wood-burning fireplace and warm oak floors creates an incredibly cozy spot for relaxing. Through the dining room with French doors and a garden view is the kitchen. Granite countertops, gas range, new backsplash and appliances and walnut shelving all make this kitchen functional and modern. The unfinished basement has potential for remodeling with a tall ceiling height, or just a convenient spot for storage and laundry. The systems of the home have been meticulously maintained and updated: gas furnace (2014) and central AC (2024), water heater (2018), composition roof (2015). Recent drainage work and a new sump pump keep the basement dry and comfortable. Stepping outside into the park-like yard, you'll find everything you need. Two sheds, one wired with electricity. An electric gate that opens with remote to allow secure RV or extra vehicle parking. Granny Smith & dwarf honeycrisp apple trees, blueberries and new raised garden beds surround the home. Pavers and a new deck extend the living space outside. The swingset and incredible custom-designed modern two-story playhouse complete this dreamy yard space that you'll never want to leave! Come and visit this incredible oasis located in the coveted Bridlemile school district with easy access to freeways and amenities.
