Welcome home to this charming white-picket-fence ranch offering multiple inviting living spaces and a generously sized backyard. Hardwood floors welcome you into the main living area, with the dining space and kitchen just to the left and three bedrooms plus a full bath to the right. Beyond the kitchen, a thoughtful addition provides two distinct living areas, one featuring classic wood paneling and the other filled with abundant natural light. The lower level offers additional flexibility with a bonus space, laundry area, and a nonconforming fourth bedroom. Enjoy relaxing in the fully fenced backyard or take advantage of nearby restaurants and shops in the Merle Hay and Beaverdale areas. Schedule your tour today!
