About the Listing 3950 - 35109

READY TO MOVE IN! Brick Ranch on a Lush Corner Lot Nestled on a generous .4311-acres, this beautifully updated solid brick ranch is a rare gem that seamlessly blends classic craftsmanship with modern upgrades. From the moment you arrive, the home's curb appeal is undeniable-mature trees, thoughtfully curated landscaping, and new plantings including cherry trees, river birch, climbing hydrangea, and Arborvitae create a picturesque setting that feels both private and welcoming. A stately Magnolia tree graces the back yard its strong, sweeping branches just waiting for a swing or a quiet moment beneath its shade. This is more than a house-it's a sanctuary, a place where every detail has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully enhanced. Step inside and be immediately struck by the expansive layout and the warmth of natural light that floods every room. The home's open floor plan offers an exceptional sense of space and flow, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. With three oversized bedrooms, including two luxurious primary suites, this home offers flexibility for multi-generational living, guest accommodations, or simply indulging in extra space and privacy. The original primary suite, located on the west side of the home, is a peaceful retreat with ample room for a king-sized bed, sitting area, and additional furnishings. The second suite, equally spacious, offers its own unique charm and versatility-perfect for guests, in-laws, or a deluxe home office setup on the east side of the house. The heart of the home is the exceptionally large living room, where comfort meets elegance. Anchored by a floor-to-ceiling brick wood-burning fireplace, this space invites cozy evenings by the fire, lively gatherings, or quiet afternoons with a good book. A massive picture window frames views of the lush yard, bringing the outdoors in and bathing the room in natural light throughout the day. Adjacent to the living room, the dining area offers generous proportions and design flexibility. Whether you envision a grand dining table for holiday feasts or a more intimate setup with a hutch and six chairs, this space adapts to your lifestyle. Another large picture window provides a tranquil view of the backyard's mature trees, enhancing the dining experience with a touch of nature. The kitchen is a true delight-warm, inviting, and thoughtfully designed. Custom light hardwood cabinetry, crafted by the home's original owner-a skilled woodworking carpenter-adds character and charm, while newer stainless-steel appliances, including a brand-new Bosch dishwasher, bring modern convenience. A large farmhouse sink sits beneath a window that overlooks the garden and brick paver patio, making even the simplest tasks feel like a pleasure. There's ample counter space for meal prep, baking, or entertaining, and plenty of room for a breakfast table where casual family meals can be enjoyed. Whether you're a seasoned chef or a weekend cook, this kitchen is sure to inspire. Throughout the home, you'll find exquisite woodwork, custom trim, and built-in bookcases that reflect the original owner's dedication to quality and detail. Hardwood floors, newly installed and refinished in 2025, run throughout the main living areas and bedrooms, adding warmth and continuity to the space. Fresh interior paint in a soft, neutral palette enhances the home's light-filled ambiance and provides a perfect backdrop for any decor style.
