Freshly renovated and move-in ready, this stylish 1950s ranch blends timeless character with thoughtful hip updates-perfectly located near River Park, Budlong Elementary, and Swedish Covenant (Endeavor) Hospital. The sunlit main level features two generous bedrooms and two full baths, including a private en-suite retreat. A wide-open living and dining space is anchored by a sleek electric fireplace and picture windows that flood the room with light. The stunning island kitchen-with sage green cabinetry, butcher block counters, and matte black hardware-feels both current and classic, offering great flow for casual dining or entertaining. Downstairs, the finished lower level adds incredible versatility, complete with a cozy family room, summer kitchen, two more bedrooms, and a third full bath-ideal for roommates, guests, multi-generational living, or work-from-home needs. Out back there's is a patio, plus green space, and a two-car parking pad with room to build a garage. Brand new AC Compressor just installed - Furnace approx 7 years old. A warm modern aesthetic, and a prime location near Lincoln Square's shops, restaurants, and transit River Park, North Park University, and Endeavor Hospital /Galter Life Center make this home a rare find.
