This is not your typical Brookside bungalow. Tired of stairs? You're not alone. True ranch homes in Brookside are incredibly hard to find, and this one was taken nearly to the studs and thoughtfully rebuilt in 2018. With 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and major improvements behind the walls, this is far more than a cosmetic remodel. Originally a 2-bedroom, 1-bath home, this property was expanded with an addition that completely changed the layout. You don't see floor plans like this in Brookside very often. The oversized primary suite features a huge ensuite bath and walk-in closet, and all three bedrooms have great closet space, something else that's hard to find in homes of this era. Plus, no sharing a driveway, this one has a private driveway. The kitchen was completely gutted and redesigned with custom cabinetry, Corian countertops, a dual fuel oven, and improved flow into the dining and sunroom spaces. Both bathrooms were fully renovated with all new plumbing and fixtures, while the former screened porch was enclosed and finished as a sunroom, creating additional living space filled with natural light. Original hardwood floors were preserved and thoughtfully incorporated throughout the home, paired with solid wood doors, great closet space, and main level side-by-side laundry. Beyond the cosmetic updates, the behind-the-scenes work is just as impressive. Nearly every wall was rebuilt with sheetrock replacing plaster and lathe, all new electrical was installed with a 200-amp panel and buried exterior lines, and plumbing was replaced throughout. All main level windows were replaced, insulation was added to walls and attic spaces, the cedar shake siding was completely updated and the HVAC was replaced in 2024. With a rare one-level layout, extensive renovation, and major systems already addressed, this home is a true gem.
