About This Home

As of August 2025

Prime location with room to spread out.

Nestled directly across from Ahren’s Park and just one block from Fairview Elementary—plus the future elementary campus—you’ll have front-row seats to the community’s July 4th fireworks display. Recent upgrades make this split-level truly move-in ready: brand-new shingles, siding, gutters and driveway. The furnace and central air in 2019.

The sun-lit main level features an open-concept living room, kitchen and dining area with French doors leading to a private rear patio. Upstairs are three comfortable bedrooms and a full bath. Need flexible space? The bright lower level is currently used as the primary suite, complete with walk-in closet, and an oversized bath/laundry; it can just as easily serve as a large family or recreation room.

Garage lovers take note: an insulated, attached single garage pairs with a heated, oversized, two-car detached garage outfitted with shop lights, suspended heat and a workbench. Alley access provides abundant parking for extra vehicles, an RV or a trailer.

If you’re looking for convenience, versatility and freshly updated curb appeal, come see this home today.
