Tucked into a quiet, well-established Lower Beaver neighborhood, this updated 3 bed, 1 bath ranch blends mid-century charm with modern upgrades. Built in 1958, it features a spacious living room with a beautiful cove ceiling and brand new LVP flooring throughout. The kitchen has had a facelift with freshly painted cabinets, a new sink, new counters, and brand new stainless steel appliances. The updated bathroom and modestly sized bedrooms reflect the efficient layout of the era, offering 1008 square feet on the main level. Half of the basement includes additional finished space with LVP flooring. The other half houses the HVAC which was updated at some point, the laundry room, a new radon mitigation system, and a lot of extra space for storage. Newer roof. The exterior has been updated. New windows and interior trim will be installed by the end of June. Enjoy a fenced backyard and a 2-car detached garage. A solid, stylish home in a peaceful setting - call your agent to schedule a tour!
