Picture a warm evening on East 3rd Street in Bridgewater. The garage door is up, the grill is going on the deck, and friends drift between the driveway and the backyard while the shade trees cool everything down. This 1971 ranch gives you the setup to host that kind of night without a big production. Start outside. The deck is the gathering spot for summer suppers and conversations that run past sundown. Mature shade trees cover the backyard, and the 50 by 142 lot leaves room for lawn chairs and yard games. A storage shed keeps the mower and yard gear out of the way. The 14 by 24 oversized attached garage gives you room for the car plus a workbench or the folding tables when the crowd shows up. Inside, the updated kitchen pulls people in. Updated cabinets and countertops over updated flooring give it a clean, easy feel, and it comes with an electric range, a refrigerator, and a disposal. Luxury vinyl plank and carpet run through the living spaces. The primary bedroom is on the main floor, and a roomy main-floor laundry and storage room keeps the chores in one spot. Downstairs, the finished family room is ready for movie night or the game on Sunday. The lower level has 560 finished square feet, plus 547 unfinished square feet for storage or a future rec room. In all, you get 2 bedrooms, a full bath and a half bath, and 1,667 finished square feet over a full basement on a block foundation. The upkeep side is handled, so your weekends go to friends and the deck. The exterior has recent updates, and cement hardboard siding with a shingle roof keeps outside projects modest. Central air and propane heat cover the seasons, and the owned water softener stays. City water and sewer come with curb and gutter and public street maintenance. A garage door opener and smoke detectors are in place. Annual taxes are $1,104.48 at the owner-occupied rate. Bridgewater is a small town in McCook County, South Dakota. East 3rd Street sits north of Highway 262 off Cherry Street, and the home is in the Bridgewater-Emery School District. There's no HOA, so the plans for the yard and the garage are yours to make. Possession can be immediate. Bring your ideas for the first cookout on East 3rd Street.
