Behind the charmingly traditional façade of this Eldridge Park rancher sits a surprisingly modern interior floorplan perfect for today's buyer who prioritizes a multifunctional and versatile layout to excess space. Far from your typical dark and boxy ranch-style design, this home feels far more spacious than its square footage would have you believe thanks to its bright and airy atmosphere created by vaulted ceilings, reduced interior walls, uniform hardwood and laminate flooring, and abundant windows filling the home with natural light. You can enjoy all the comfort and convenience of one-story living with the added benefit of a finished basement for additional useable and flexible living space. From the exterior, the inviting front porch and mature landscaping create instant curb appeal that beckons you to enter the home. Inside, you are welcomed into the center of the open-concept living room and dining room. To the right of the doorway sits the cheery living room with its sloped ceiling punctuated with illuminating skylights. The focal point of the room is the brick fireplace that evokes Rockwellian images of cozying up to a warm fire on cold winter nights. The adjoining dining room can serve as a formal eating area as originally intended or consider the alternative possibilities for repurposing this open space into an adjunct of the living room as a library, music area, billiards room, home bar or office. Connected to the dining room on the left is the eye-catching, expanded kitchen. Here, the large kitchen workspace with dark wood cabinets and tile backsplash gives way to the eating area addition where a vaulted ceiling and bank of windows create a dramatic scene for the home's central hub of social interaction. An access door from the kitchen leads to the fenced-in backyard for easy indoor/outdoor entertaining. Down the hall from the kitchen you will find the main-floor bathroom and the home's 2 comfortably-sized bedrooms which are separated from the bustle of the main living areas. Meanwhile downstairs, the finished basement, which also houses the laundry room with laundry shoot and 2nd full bathroom, is a flexible space that can be converted into many different types of rooms to suit your needs, for example, a media room for the family to enjoy, a play space for the kids, a functional home office, a work-out center or even additional bedrooms. Move right in and add your own cosmetic touches to suit your personal style. Some of the home's major mechanical components (heater, hot water heater, air conditioner) have been updated in the last 7 years and the Seller is providing a one-year home warranty for Buyer's peace of mind. This home has so much to offer including convenient access to main travel routes and a plethora of local parks, schools, shopping, dining, and entertainment venues. Come see for yourself what may just be your perfect nest!
