This MacDougall Ranch is a mid-century modern blast from the past and is ready for your fixer upper skills and dreams! Designed and built by Robert MacDougall and located in the highly desirable Elm Estates neighborhood (North of Butterfield Rd and West of York Rd), these homes are well known for their durability, classic styling and are highly sought after. This is believed to be an original spec home in the Elm Estates development and was built with upgrades such as a concrete driveway, cinder block and brick facade garage, and hardwood floors throughout the family room and bedrooms. Original owners from the 1960's are now offering this piece of history to a lucky buyer wanting to bring her up-to-date with the beautiful design and features worthy of the history that she represents. Charm awaits you at the door with stunning hardwood floors in the living room, preserved beneath carpeting for the last 60 years. The easy living flow from living room to dining room to the kitchen to the breakfast nook make it easy to understand the attraction of the MacDougal ranch design. Large windows let in large volumes of light for each room with an East/West orientation. All three bedrooms have hardwood floors. The double garage has a built in workbench and is one of the rare MacDougall garages with a full brick exterior. The basement has a large finished living space (612 sq ft) with built-in cabinets and storage as well as a large unfinished space (588 sq ft) with a work bench, laundry, and storage.
