Some homes simply make everyday living easier. Welcome to 687 S Elizabeth Street, a rarely available 3-bedroom, 2-full-bath ranch duplex with NO HOA in Maple Park, where comfortable one-level living, thoughtful updates and room to grow come together in a home that feels inviting from the moment you arrive. At the heart of the home, vaulted ceilings and skylights bring an airy feel to the main living space, while a two-sided gas log fireplace creates a warm connection between the family room, kitchen and dining area. It is an easy layout for everything from quiet mornings at home to evenings gathered around the kitchen. The updated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, Corian countertops, tile backsplash, durable wood laminate flooring, a breakfast bar/island with electric and a generous pantry. A main-level laundry hookup currently in the kitchen pantry provides the future potential to keep day-to-day living entirely on one floor. The primary bedroom offers its own private full bath with Corian vanity and tile flooring, while two additional bedrooms and a second full bath provide flexibility for guests, hobbies or a home office. Downstairs, the full basement adds substantial storage today and exciting possibilities for tomorrow, with plumbing already roughed in for a future bathroom. And then there is the backyard-a space ready to be enjoyed as much as the interior. Step outside to a covered patio with ceiling fan, continue onto the brick paver patio to further enjoy the fenced yard. Ranch living can be difficult to find. A ranch with three bedrooms, two full baths, a full basement, attached two-car garage, fenced yard, recent improvements and NO HOA is an even rarer combination. 687 S Elizabeth Street brings it all together in a home designed not simply to live in, but to enjoy. Since purchasing the home in 2023, the current owner has continued to thoughtfully improve it with a Level 2 Honda EV charging station, smart garage door opener, new sump pump and recently replaced the dryer.
