This move-in ready brick ranch delivers an exceptional combination of thoughtful updates, flexible living space, and an unbeatable location in the highly sought-after 214 school district. The main level features an open floor plan with hardwood floors throughout and beautiful natural light in every room. The master suite offers a private retreat with a conveniently located and newly renovated en-suite half bath. A second newly renovated full bathroom completes the main level. The updated kitchen is equipped with a breakfast bar and glass doors that open directly to a patio and expansive backyard - a seamless setup for outdoor dining and entertaining.
