On the Market: Arlington Heights ranch

This pristine brick ranch home in the Surrey Ridge subdivision of Arlington Heights, close to Woodfield Shopping Center and an abundance of stores and restaurants, has to be seen to be believed.

The space inside, thanks to the partially-finished basement, is shocking. So it would be perfect for a young couple or family just starting out or for a couple that is ready to ditch the big house in favor of something that is smaller and less work.

But when you walk in, be prepared to feel as if no one has ever lived here before. The home is that perfect and beautifully maintained, with its quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances and separate eating area in the kitchen, and its basement office.

Listing agent Terri Hunt of Re/MAX Suburban offers further details:
