Completely Updated Ranch Home Near Downtown Geneva
If you’re shopping for an absolutely move-in ready home in an ideal location in the Tri-Cities area, look no further. This stunning ranch home has been completely redone and is truely something special. I know you’ve seen re-habs in the past and have been dissappointed with cut corners and cheap materials – that’s not the case here. The seller has really gone the distance to provide the next owner with a superior living experience. Plus a lot of work has been done “under the hood” to make sure this property is going to be worry-free. One of the big draws of this home is, of course, the location. Within walking distance of Downtown Geneva makes this property perfect for owners that enjoy the scenic downtown and all the festivals that occur throughout the year. Combine this with a large lot with mature landscaping on a quiet street that’s set back in the woods and you’ve got an absolutly ideal location.
I’m sure when you look at a home, one of the most important things is the kitchen. Having a kitchen with enough space and in a location that allows you to cook and entertain at the same time are features that many buyers prize in a home. This kitchen has been completely re-designed with this in mind. Start with new high-end cabinets with built-in soft-close technology and tons of storage space. Next, this home has been furnished with brand new stainless steel appliances and here’s another area where this home really stands out. Where most rehabbed homes provide you basic-model appliances, the seller has really gone the distance to provide high-end appliances. The oven is a higher-end model with cast iron burners and the side-by-side refrigerator/freezer includes a built-in icemaker and water dispenser. You’ll also find full granite countertops with a built-in breakfast bar and stylish glass tile backsplash. Where this home exceeds expectations is in the little details – for example, the under-cabinet lighting system. This all-new kitchen is the centerpiece of the home and ties in perfectly with the dining room and a pass-through allows you to entertain guests in the family room while you prepare meals.
Perhaps the second-biggest feature of this home is the beautiful family room located on the back side of the home. Huge picture windows offer a picturesque view of the huge lot and mature landscaping. The wood-burning fireplace has been re-tiled and is all ready for those cold winter nights. Designer hardwood floors have been installed and the pass-through from the kitchen allows guests in the family room to interact with those in the kitchen or dining room. Despite the large windows, there is still plenty of open wall space for that big flat-screen TV.
This home features three bedrooms, all with lots of windows that increase the natural light in this home. Each bedroom features a large closet, new flooring, new trim/doors and has been freshly painted. One of the big things that really makes this home stand out is the upgrades that have been done “under the hood” that are usually not done on a typical rehab due to cost. For example, this home has had all new drainage tile installed around the perimeter to make sure the basement stays bone dry and the lot has been re-graded to direct water to the sides. The home has also been completely re-wired and features new electric outlets and phone jacks. You’ll also find brand new energy efficient windows throughout the home and a roof that is new within the past 5 years. The contractor replacing commercial roofs offered this time a popular residential roofing option. For more information contact Emerald Management & Realty LTD. The owner of the house has done a pest inspection to make sure no pests can damage the renovated property. It reminds me that I should call Top Pest Control Management in Houston TX – Royal Pest Control to have my parents’ house inspected as well.
