Cancel your lease and call your lender, because this cute ranch house is the ultimate starter home for you! You'll be able to tackle some cosmetic updates on your own schedule, but the structure and system are sound so you won't need to shell out big bucks for repairs. It does have three bedrooms, but the third features a bay window and French doors to the side yard and might be more suited to a home office or a reading/relaxing room. The living room is surprisingly spacious, and it's open to the cute dining area and kitchen, and the kitchen leads right out to a comfortable deck--the perfect spot for an evening Chardonnay or Saturday afternoon lemonade. The back yard abuts a wooded, landlocked parcel so there's nice privacy in the rear, and you've got a little runaround space in the back and side--but not so much that mowing and raking will ruin your weekends. The basement features a finished area with a brick bar, which could be the focus for cozy get-togethers with friends on a cold winter's night. Right at the end of the street you'll find a trailhead for some of the paths that wind through wooded Piscataquog River Park, and you're just around the corner from the ball fields and pool at George W. Smith Complex and Theodore Raco Park, respectively, so if you tire of being indoors you can escape without having to travel far. Start your homeownership journey here, or downsize into right-sized comfort, and say to yourself, "Welcome home!"
