Enjoy the convenience of first floor living on one of the most coveted streets in the Village! A prime location within a prime location, this easy breezy ranch abuts Hudson Middle School's campus and is just yards away from community playgrounds, award-winning schools, and Lavelli track & field! Here you get the benefits of being within the exciting Downtown district with a quiet neighborhood setting to retreat to. Black and white with charm all over, this home is set upon a very nice lot with a maturely treed backdrop for quaint curb appeal! Inside, you'll be struck by bright windows and a spacious layout. The family room offers a big beautiful picture window to bring the outdoors in! A crackling fireplace adds warmth on those chilly nights while build-ins provide space for both storage and display! The ultra-functional flow gives way to the sunny dining area, and the delightful kitchen is around the corner. Beautiful honey-toned Kraft Maid cabinets, updated appliances, and plenty of counterspace characterize this cook's delight, and the warm, uniform wood grain floors guide you through the entire layout! 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths give room for everyone! The smart breezeway from the attached garage gives opportunity for additional gathering space in the form of a sun room with an exterior door to the rear patio. No basement equals no worries and brings the laundry to the first floor making it true one-floor living...what could be easier than that?! Extensive mechanical updates have been made in recent years (ask us for the full list!) and all has been lovingly maintained. Imagine Summers spent on the Green, nights out at First and Main, and an amazing selection of artisanal wines and cheeses from Heinen's just a sidewalk away! 179 Elm Street is exactly what you've been waiting for!
