Property Description
Situated on a beautifully landscaped half-acre lot in an established neighborhood, this well-maintained ranch home offers comfortable living and future flexibility. Mature trees, attractive stone veneer accents, and a low-maintenance vinyl-wrapped exterior create outstanding curb appeal from the moment you arrive. Inside, you'll find 1,432 square feet of main-level living space featuring hardwood flooring throughout the foyer, living room, dining room, and primary bedroom. The spacious living room serves as the heart of the home, highlighted by built-in shelving and beautiful fireplace that creates a warm and inviting gathering space. The floor plan includes two bedrooms and two full bathrooms, with one full bath conveniently located on the main level and a second full bath in the basement. A dedicated office provides valuable flex space and may offer future potential for conversion to a third bedroom, depending on a buyer's needs and intended use. The full unfinished basement features a fireplace and offers the opportunity to significantly expand the home's usable living space for recreation, hobbies, fitness, entertainment, storage, or other future needs. Additional highlights include an oversized two-car garage connected to the home through a convenient breezeway, providing sheltered access between the garage and house throughout the year. Outdoor features include a concrete patio with awning, creating an inviting space to enjoy morning coffee, evening gatherings, or summer cookouts. The true highlight of the property is the impressive half-acre lot, featuring a substantial side yard accented by mature trees and established landscaping. This gorgeous lot provides outdoor space and flexibility that is difficult to find at this price point while remaining close to shopping, dining, healthcare, and other everyday conveniences. Conveniently located, 801 Lawnwood Drive offers the opportunity to enjoy comfortable ranch living today while providing room to grow and customize tomorrow.
