3-Bed Ranch with Inground Pool on Corner Lot
What first catches the eye at 701 Northampton Boulevard is the back yard: an inground pool framed by a sunroom that looks over the water — a rare combination on a 0.22-acre corner parcel in Pine Lake Park. This single-story ranch delivers comfortable, immediately liveable spaces with options for growth: a full basement with high ceilings invites finished expansion while the corner lot and 100' frontage offer separation from the street and room for outdoor living.
Inside, the home reads as a thoughtfully maintained mid-century ranch updated where it matters. Hardwood floors lead through a living room anchored by a brick gas fireplace, and the kitchen shows durable finishes including granite countertops. The attached sunroom, accessed from the main living area, becomes a seasonal extension of the home — ideal for morning coffee, poolside entertaining, or informal dining with a view of the yard. Three bedrooms share a single, well-appointed bath; while one bathroom may influence buyer planning, it also creates a clear opportunity for value-adding remodeling or an added ensuite in the basement build-out.
Systems have been updated in recent years — furnace, septic, and air conditioning were replaced approximately six years ago — so buyers can expect reduced near-term capital expenses. The roof is shingle construction; a roof inspection is recommended as part of due diligence. Practical features include a one-car attached garage plus driveway parking for additional vehicles and public water with natural gas heating and central AC for year-round comfort.
Lifestyle in Pine Lake Park emphasizes convenience without sacrificing suburban calm. The property sits a half-mile from neighborhood green space at Pine Lake Park and within easy driving distance of shopping, medical services, and Cattus Island County Park for larger outdoor excursions. Whether you’re drawn to the pool and sunroom for summertime gatherings or to the basement for a home office and workshop, this ranch blends move-in readiness with clear possibilities to personalize and add value.
