About This Home
Opportunity knocks in sought-after Oakville! This move-in ready 3-bedroom ranch has the updates buyers want, in a neighborhood they keep coming back to. The covered front porch welcomes you home and is made for slow mornings and easy evenings. Step inside and the cathedral ceiling makes an instant impression, opening up a bright, airy layout where the living room flows right into the dining area and updated kitchen. It's perfect for entertaining or keeping everyone connected. An updated full bath and one-level living keep every day simple. Need more room? The partially finished lower level is ready to become a home office, gym, rec room, or convenient storage. The big-ticket items are already done, with a newer gas heating system and a newer garage door, so your budget can go toward making it your own. A one-car garage under the house, a rear deck for summer cookouts, public water and sewer, and low-maintenance vinyl siding round out this 0.23-acre property. One-level living, real updates and an Oakville address: this is the one you've been waiting for. Come see it before someone else calls it home.
