Updated where it matters most, this thoughtfully improved two-story home blends character, comfort, and modern touches throughout. Vaulted ceilings and a classic brick fireplace create a warm and inviting first impression in the living room. The kitchen has been beautifully refreshed with quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances, offering a clean, modern feel. Tile flooring enhances the kitchen and dining area, while newer laminate wood flooring extends through the main living areas and bedrooms for a cohesive look. The desirable layout includes a convenient downstairs primary bedroom and full bath, complete with a walk-in closet. The primary bathroom features granite countertops, a remodeled tub with coordinating granite surround, and finished concrete flooring for a stylish, contemporary touch. Step outside to a spacious backyard complete with a covered patio, perfect for outdoor dining or weekend barbecues along with a charming wooden shed for additional storage or hobby space. With an HVAC system replaced approx. six years ago, a roof approx. 11 years old, and thoughtful improvements throughout, this home feels warm, comfortable, and well cared for. A wonderful opportunity for a first-time buyer or anyone looking for lasting value in an established Modesto neighborhood. Welcome home!
