About This Home
As of October 2025Welcome to this charming ranch home, perfectly situated on a rare oversized lot! Brand NEW carpeting in bedrooms and NEW AC! With 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, this light, bright, and open-concept layout is ideal for entertaining. The kitchen features a breakfast bar-great for busy mornings-and flows seamlessly into the family room, where a cozy brick fireplace adds warmth and character. Enjoy durable and stylish laminate vinyl plank flooring throughout, along with major updates that include new siding, gutters, and downspouts (March 2023), new water pipeline (August 2023), and all new flooring (April 2024). The bedrooms have been freshly painted, offering a clean and welcoming feel. Outside, the large backyard sits on half an acre and is perfect for pets, play areas, or even future expansion. A detached outdoor shed offers additional storage. Mature trees provide shade and privacy, and you're just steps away from neighborhood parks and local baseball fields. Location is everything-and this home delivers! You're less than a mile from multiple schools, with the police and fire departments just across the street. A nearby park hosts an annual carnival, adding to the vibrant community feel. Whether you have a car or not, daily essentials are within walking distance, and the school bus stops right at or near the home. Don't miss this incredible opportunity to own a move-in-ready home in the heart of town!
