About this home

Welcome to this bright 2-bedroom Southgate ranch offering a fenced backyard, 2-car detached garage, spacious basement and an abundance of natural light, all just a block from Shelters Elementary. A large front window fills the living room with sunlight, while the adjoining dining area continues the bright, open feel into the kitchen. Wood flooring carries through the kitchen and dining space, where a new 2026 gas range and dishwasher add everyday convenience. Down the hall, the primary bedroom is a standout. Previously configured as two separate rooms, it now provides an exceptionally spacious retreat with three windows bringing in even more natural light. A second bedroom and full bath complete the main level. Downstairs, the large unfinished basement adds valuable flexibility beyond the main living areas. With room for a second TV and lounge setup, hobbies, projects, laundry and storage, it’s a spacious extension of the home that can comfortably serve several purposes at once. Outside, the fenced backyard receives abundant sunshine and features three raised garden beds, including a generous garden area that has been used for vegetables and strawberries. Start the morning on the covered front porch, enjoy the backyard throughout the day, and take advantage of the 2-car detached garage with electricity. With appliances included and a layout that makes smart use of every space, this Southgate ranch is ready for its next chapter.
