Welcome to this thoughtfully updated ranch, in the desirable location of Ashby Heights. Designed for seamless living and entertaining, this home blends timeless character with modern updates. The main level offers an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, tile floors, granite countertops and an eat-in kitchen bar, which opens up to a spacious dining room with fireplace. The living room has custom built-ins, refinished wood floors, and large windows to display the wooded surroundings. Just down the hall is a primary suite, two additional bedrooms, and a full bathroom. The basement is full of options for multigenerational living, potential guest suite, or future rental possibilities. It boasts a large living room with built-in bar and gas fireplace, 2 bedrooms, full bathroom, and large laundry area. Light and park like views stream in the basement's generous sized windows. The nearly half acre lot is lined with mature trees, and the large, layered deck is a showstopper, providing many areas to entertain and enjoy the beautiful outdoor setting, both under roof and in the sun. Enjoy a short wooded walk out the back to A Dream Come True Park and just a short drive to many JMU events. This home is a true gem!
