We have to start with the floors. See, a listing usually starts with commentary about location (in this case, just inside the Perimeter, on a quiet, convenient tree-lined street close to Covington Highway and Memorial Drive). Or, for a mid-century three-bedroom, two-bath brick ranch, the conversation circles around how it's evolved — exquisitely when it comes to 1395 Dennis Drive, where a head-to-toe renovation hits all the high points. Modularity is maintained, with attention to timeless modernity… with enough room for fun surprises. Or talks of sheer land size. There's a lot of it. (The backyard is enormous.) But, yeah. Those floors. Solid oak hardwood. Grained, where every line tells a story. You don't find this level of character anymore. All the better to compliment a contemporary remodel, where soft-white and gray hues play nicely with natural light pouring through the oversized windows from an east-facing exposure. The formality of the living area? Subdued. The way it blends into the dining space, with ambient recessed lighting and walls awaiting your personal touch. Or the kitchen. Custom cabinetry, of course. Stainless appliances, stone tops, and an upgraded chef-ready five burner gas range (elegant subway tile backsplash and center vent hood included — this is where you *cook* alongside inspirational reruns of Chopped). The breakfast area, right across the counter: perfect for sitting around after hours, cracking open a bottle or two, while flanked by sets of french doors, courtesy of the secondary entrance. And then… why haven't we done subway tiles for decades now? They look great. They're here, in abundance, in the bathrooms. The primary ensuite, especially — the linear veins in the shower tile and how it compliments the granite tops and brushed nickel plumbing fixtures? Effortless. As for the bedrooms themselves, plenty of closet space. One of them easily converts to a home office if you need a post-pandemic work-from-home space. And, out back. The backyard is large enough to throw your arm out if you're lobbing around a tennis ball with the dog. Pet-friendly, of course, with an all-new 6-ft wood privacy fence with gate access on both sides of the property. And the golf-course-worthy newly sodded lawn pops against a backdrop of old-growth pines. In summation, 1395 Dennis Drive is a teaser trailer for how the traditional mid-century ranch is evolving. No longer a starter home — elevated, where practicality meets personality, and where, once you're here, you never really want to leave. Dennis Drive is unique among its competitors. You could not get a better design for your long-term use. The asking price is well under what you'd pay for new construction with similar square footage inside the Perimeter. So, if you're a ready-to-act buyer, call your agent today and submit your best offer because homes of this caliber at this price remain rare in this evolving market. Priced to bring immediate attention and competitive offers at $299,900.
