    Where Beauty Meets Convenience-Just 5 Minutes from Midway in Garfield Ridge! This 5 bed, 2 bath all-brick home blends timeless character with modern upgrades-gorgeous landscaping, a 2-car garage with alley access, and a brick-paved patio with a fenced yard that makes every outdoor moment feel like a retreat. From the moment you step inside, you'll find yourself saying "Whoa." Bright hardwood floors shine under natural light pouring through oversized windows. Every detail inside is dialed in: custom tilework, quartz countertops, fresh paint, and spacious rooms that feel open and inviting.

The fully finished basement offers a true second living area, complete with its own kitchen, full bath, bedroom, and large gathering space. There's even a lower-level foyer at the bottom of the stairs that creates a seamless and polished entry into the space-ideal for guests, multi-generational living, or just room to spread out.
