Enjoy peace of mind with this ONE OWNER HOME that has been lovingly maintained by the same family since it was originally built. It's now ready for its second owner to make it their own. This 3 bed 2 bath ranch home with a finished basement offers nearly 1,100 square feet on each level, providing plenty of living space for a growing family. The main floor features a spacious primary bedroom with an XL closet. You'll love the natural light flooding into the large living room through the corner wrapped windows. The eat-in kitchen features solid oak cabinets and a large dining area. The layout presents an excellent opportunity for a future HGTV-style renovation by opening the kitchen wall to the living room for a modern open-concept design. An added unique benefit of this one-owner home is that the original blueprints have been preserved, helping take the guesswork out of remodeling projects like this. Rounding out the main level is the 1st full bath along with FOUR main-level closets offering ample storage. Head downstairs to the finished basement featuring a huge open rec room. The retro vibe of the wood paneled walls with limestone accents offers nostalgic character and warmth rarely found in today's bright and bland finished basements. Additional space includes a workshop/storage room, laundry area, and 2nd bathroom with a shower. Outside, the driveway leading to the 2-car garage provides plenty of off-street parking. The fenced backyard is perfect for kids or pets and is just the right size for easy maintenance. Conveniently located in the heart of Hessville, this is an excellent commuter location just minutes from the Cline/169th exit with quick access to I-80/94, the Toll Road, and the SouthShore Train Station. This block is especially attractive as the private school to the north cuts off through traffic. Move-in ready with solid craftsmanship and endless potential to personalize over time, this checks all the boxes for the ideal affordable starter home!
