About This Home
Welcome to this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 1-bath ranch offering timeless charm with modern updates throughout. The home boasts great curb appeal with a welcoming front porch and sits on a spacious, fenced double lot perfect for outdoor enjoyment. Step inside to find gorgeous hardwood floors that flow through most of the home, complemented by fresh interior paint completed in September 2025. The updated kitchen features tile counters, a dishwasher, and newer range hood and garbage disposal — all designed for today’s lifestyle. The bathroom has been tastefully remodeled, and both front and rear decks were refinished in 2025, providing ideal spaces for relaxing or entertaining. Enjoy peace of mind with numerous recent upgrades, including a new furnace and central air conditioning installed in April 2023 (Tempest Air) and a furnace inspection completed March 2025 by Mike’s Heating & Cooling, Inc. Additional improvements include new windows, siding, insulation, roof, electrical, plumbing, and reinforced crawl space from a major renovation in 2009, as well as professionally cleaned HVAC ducts (Safety King, Inc., June 2023). The home also comes complete with all major appliances — refrigerator, range, washer, and dryer — and a detached 2-car garage with opener. This truly move-in ready home combines comfort, quality, and value — a perfect blend of classic style and modern convenience.
