Tucked away on a .26 -acre lot in desirable West Athens, this classic ranch combines timeless charm with thoughtful updates. Step inside and you'll immediately appreciate the warmth of refinished hardwood floors that flow seamlessly throughout, complemented by a neutral color palette that suits any decor style. The welcoming living room transitions effortlessly into an inviting eat-in kitchen featuring durable tile floors, stained cabinetry, ample workspace, and a complete appliance package that includes a new stove/oven and the refrigerator. Just beyond, a spacious great room addition sets the stage for relaxation and entertaining-anchored by a central masonry fireplace and new plush carpet flooring. This fantastic space creates a dynamic area and offers sweeping views of the private, tree-lined backyard. Down the hall, three cozy bedrooms and 2 baths provide comfort and convenience for everyday living. Each bedroom boasts durable wood floors, ceiling fan light fixtures and ample closet space. The primary bedroom is upgraded with a private full bath, standing out amongst the rest.  An unlikely surprise lies below-an expansive basement with a second masonry fireplace, offers the perfect blank canvas for a recreation area, workshop or storage.
