With over $100,000 between them, these two offerings in Ridgewood Park are looking better by the minute. There’s no denying the historic charm both provide, plus each is filled with designer touches that surprise and delight! Only question is which would you choose, the Renovated Ranch Splurge or the Brick Beauty Steal? Tell us which one and why.

Splurge: Renovated Ranch Style With Charming Updates For $519K 

A prime location, a generous floorplan, and not one but two living areas make this Ridgewood Park gem a keeper! We love the brick exterior, mature trees, and flagstone patio for entertaining. But inside, the real show begins.

The three-bedroom, two-full-bathroom home has been updated to perfection. In the light and airy kitchen a subway tile backsplash, new cabinets, and a charming breakfast nook create a welcoming space to cook and serve.

Nearby den affords ample built-ins and plenty of space to unwind. And for the master suite, a newly renovated bath with frameless glass shower ups the ante.

There is even a private study that could be used as a fourth bedroom if you so choose! Did we mention the home also features a fabulous mudroom with built-ins for hanging coats and storing shoes?

If you have a family with kids, you’ll love this. And you’ll adore the oversized backyard with patio too! A 2-car attached garage with added storage has room to park your cars and store your toys. The only thing missing is you.

Steal: Stately Brick Beauty With Loads of Charm For $429K

Now this is a steal if we ever saw one! The darling two-bedroom, two-full-bathroom home on Santa Anita Drive lures us in with its stately architecture, manicured lawn, and kelly green door, creating the perfect entrance to what is, in our opinion, a Ridgewood Park treasure.

Built in 1954, the home exudes historic charm but with tasteful updates that make a house a home. These include a masterfully designed custom kitchen with on-trend open shelving, gas cooktop, and ample granite countertops and island. We also love the classic touches throughout the home like the fireplace, hardwood floors, and picture windows streaming just the right amount of natural light.

The bedrooms are inviting and nicely sized, including the master which affords wood accents and gorgeous hexagon tile floors. A laundry/mudroom, two-car-garage, and separate one-car-garage add to the appeal. This is further enhanced by the fact they are both accessed via rear entry electric gate.

According to the listing, “The extra storage is great or make one of the garages an office, art studio or home gym.” Even better, the home sits in close proximity to the new Katy Trail extension and Ridgewood Park. Decisions, decisions.
