Description
Beautifully updated 3-bedroom ranch in the heart of Runnells, offering over 1,500 SF of living space! Over the past few years, this home has undergone an impressive renovation, and the sellers just completed several major upgrades including a brand-new furnace, AC, sewer line, waterproofed basement, and exterior shed. Inside, you’ll find modern finishes throughout. Within the last 3 years, the interior was refreshed with updated paint, flooring, doors, and trim. The kitchen was remodeled with white shaker cabinets, shiplap accents, a center island, quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances with a gas range. The bathroom features a custom tile shower. Electrical and plumbing updates were also completed for peace of mind. The finished lower level adds a family room and an additional bedroom, perfect for guests or extra living space. Exterior improvements within the past 3 years include a new roof, soffit, fascia, windows, and exterior paint. A newer deck off the kitchen provides a great outdoor living space overlooking the pine tree–lined backyard—ideal for relaxing or entertaining. All of this is within walking distance to the elementary school and park, making this a wonderful place to call home!
