This beautiful 3 bed/2 bath sandstone ranch with a basement sits on almost a half-acre lot on a quiet street in the Southport area. With 1, 868 square feet, this residence showcases an amazing open floor plan where the kitchen is the undeniable focal point, featuring stunning granite countertops with a dramatic curved counter for an inviting gathering space for 6-8 people to hang out. Culinary enthusiasts will appreciate the new stainless steel appliances (inc. A gas range) & the inspiring view of the dining room and living room. The main floor is flooded with light from the huge picture windows in the spacious dining room & living room; all other windows are new white vinyl, double-hung windows w/ screens. Both bathrooms are beautifully remodeled, featuring new toilets, vanities, tubs, tiled showers with niches & upgraded dual-head shower fixtures w/ extendable handles (& new fans that vent outdoors). The split floorplan places the primary suite on the opposite side of the house from the other 2 bedrooms on the main level for privacy. The easy-to-maintain, new luxury vinyl plank flooring flows seamlessly throughout the entire home. The newly finished basement offers a versatile second living area to spread out on the sectional sofa to watch the game, grab some grown-up drinks at the 4-seater bar & play foosball (or maybe turn it into a giant playroom)! Parking options abound here w/ a detached one-car garage with a reinforced carport to shelter a second car & a long, paved driveway for extra off-street parking (& a turnaround at the top of the drive). You'll love the view of your tree-lined backyard from the freshly painted, elevated back deck, perfect for entertaining & savoring the privacy of your outdoor scene. Additional budget-protecting updates include a recent connection to city sewer, updated water lines, plumbing, and ductwork, plus this home comes with a home warranty. This home offers character and modern updates in a great area with amazing neighbors!
