This classic mid-century, four-bedroom, two-bath brick ranch offers timeless character, quality craftsmanship, and a wonderful location on a west-facing corner lot. The generously sized living room is filled with natural light and features a beautiful wood-burning fireplace accented with brick and wood, creating a warm and inviting gathering space. The galley kitchen retains its original custom-made cabinetry, complemented by updated hardware and lighting, and opens to a charming informal dining room highlighted by a newer chandelier. A central hallway leads to three bedrooms and a full bath, while the fourth bedroom, conveniently located just off the dining area, is currently being used as a home office. The partially finished lower level offers an abundance of additional space and opportunity to bring your own vision and finishing touches to life. The spacious great room features a second wood-burning fireplace, custom shelving, and distinctive, custom hand-painted wall art by Joe Walzer. The home’s attractive brick exterior, generous corner lot, private backyard patio, storage shed, fully fenced yard, and thoughtfully landscaped areas add to its appeal. Ideally located near schools and within walking distance to much of what Ely has to offer, this special home combines mid-century charm, comfortable living spaces, and the opportunity to make it your own.
