About This Home

As of June 2025

Charming 2-bedroom ranch tucked away in a peaceful, secluded setting. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances and the bathroom includes a whirlpool tub and heated flooring for added comfort. Enjoy views of mature pine trees from both bedrooms. The living room and second bedroom have newer carpet, and you'll find recessed lighting and ceiling fans throughout. A full wall of cabinetry in the dining area provides excellent storage space, and pull-down attic stairs add convenience. The long driveway allows for ample parking, complemented by a 2-car garage and additional storage shed. Home is being sold as-is - a great opportunity for buyers looking to personalize and add value in a serene, private location.
