About this home
Charming, move-in ready, and thoughtfully updated, this well-maintained ranch bungalow offers the ease of true one-level living - perfect for first-time buyers, those looking to downsize, or investors seeking a strong short - or long-term rental opportunity. Originally built in 1930 and enhanced with extensive above-grade renovations in 2021, the home blends classic character with modern efficiency, including energy-efficient thermal-pane windows, a composition roof, updated HVAC and water heater, refreshed bath fixtures, new lighting, doors, and a welcoming side patio. Inside, you’ll find approximately 1,000 square feet featuring 3 comfortable bedrooms and a full bath, all designed for functional, everyday living. The exterior impresses with low-maintenance vinyl siding, a partial newer wooden privacy fence, and a spacious, level 1/3-acre corner lot (14,810 SF) offering plenty of room to relax, garden, or entertain. A rare 2-car detached garage provides abundant extra storage and workspace, while the circular driveway—with access from both Ruby Ave and 40th St—adds convenience and flexibility. With no HOA, easy access to Johnson County and downtown Kansas City, and just steps from public transit, this property delivers both comfort and connectivity in one appealing package. A MUST SEE!...
