Welcome to a rare opportunity in Arden-a thoughtfully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch home set on a prime corner lot, offering true one-level living in one of the region's most distinctive, walkable, arts-focused communities. Known for its unique blend of natural beauty, creative culture, and strong sense of community, Arden offers a lifestyle unlike anywhere else-and this home places you right in the heart of it. As you arrive, you'll appreciate the established, woodland-like setting, where mature ground cover and organic landscaping blend seamlessly into Arden's signature environment. The lot offers both character and flexibility, giving you the opportunity to shape outdoor spaces to your own vision. A large driveway and covered carport provide ample parking, while the covered front porch creates a welcoming place to sit, relax, and take in the peaceful surroundings. Step inside, and the home immediately opens with abundant natural light. Skylights, front and rear doors, and generously sized windows brighten the interior throughout, reinforcing the home's connection to its natural setting. Recent updates-including fresh paint and new carpeting-create a clean, move-in-ready feel from the moment you enter. The living area is both comfortable and functional, anchored by a wood-burning stove that efficiently heats much of the home while adding warmth and character. A pass-through between the kitchen and living space enhances openness and flow, making everyday living and entertaining feel connected and easy. In the kitchen and eat-in area, new luxury vinyl plank flooring adds both durability and style, and the space transitions naturally into a convenient laundry closet. Down the hallway, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms along with a fully renovated hall bath featuring updated tub, fixtures, flooring, lighting, and toilet. Two bedrooms showcase rarely seen 1.25-inch white oak hardwood, while another features new carpet. Positioned toward the rear of the home, the primary suite offers a more private retreat. It features hardwood flooring, a spacious double closet with built-in shelving, and a private bath with a neo-angle shower, dual vanity, and updated finishes. French doors from the living room lead to both a side deck and a larger rear deck overlooking the backyard-ideal for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying Arden's outdoor lifestyle. The yard offers space for gardening and includes an area where a shed was previously located, ready for future use. This is a rare opportunity to own a well-updated home in a truly one-of-a-kind community-combining natural surroundings, artistic character, and the ease of single-level living.
