PROS Built in the 1950s, this ranch has undergone some updates of late, including a new roof, siding, central air, and a tankless hot water system. In 2014, a kitchen face lift added white cabinetry with soft-close drawers, pearl-blue granite counters, two Thermador wall ovens, and a gas cooktop. The kitchen flows into the dining area, where there’s a back door. Front-door visitors enter the living room. Down the hall is the family bath, also redone in 2014, and the master and a smaller bedroom. In the finished basement: a laundry area, family room, second bath, and another multipurpose room. A fence surrounds the backyard, and the detached two-car garage boasts a covered patio. CONS The bedrooms need updates.

SQUARE FEET 1,194

LOT SIZE 1.51 acres

BEDROOMS 2 BATHS 1 full

LAST SOLD FOR First time on market

PROS The 1924 house on this lot was sold in 2013, then torn down and rebuilt from the foundation up. With frontage on Lake and Grove streets, there are two entrances to the driveway. Weathered shingles and a farmer’s porch make for a welcoming facade. Hardwood flooring spans the main level, which has a cozy layout: Kitchen, dining, and living area blend together. The kitchen is decked out in white cabinets, granite counters, and stainless appliances. Both bedrooms are off the living room. The family bath, which is accessible from both the master and the living room, has a stone-tile floor. At the back door, you’ll find a mudroom and stairs to the basement, where there’s a separate laundry room with hookups. CONS It’s near a railroad crossing.
