Porch sitters, gardeners, and anyone who’s ever wished for just a little more room: this one’s for you. A covered patio wraps around the front of the house under a canopy of mature trees, on a street quiet enough to hear the leaves. Morning coffee, evening wind-down, repeat.

Built in 1954 (when they made them to last) and beautifully updated, this brick ranch keeps life easy on one level: open kitchen, dining, living room, two generous bedrooms, two baths (one full and one half), real oak hardwood floors, and lots of large windows.
