About This Home

As of May 2025

Welcome to 190 Dessa Drive, where sunlight and comfort meet in this meticulously maintained south-facing ranch! As you step into this delightful home, you'll be greeted by an oversized front bow picture window that fills the living space with warm, inviting light. The spacious Living Room, complete with a cozy wood-burning fireplace and elegant built-ins, is perfect for both relaxing evenings and entertaining friends. The seamless flow into the Dining Room makes hosting gatherings a breeze! The fully renovated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a convenient adjacent pantry overlooks your ground-level deck and backyard - ideal for outdoor dining and summer barbecues. Three bedrooms, all with beautiful hardwood floors, and the updated full bath complete the first floor. The nicely finished lower level provides versatile space for a TV sitting area, a play space, and a productive office work area. A full tile bath and an additional room currently set up as a guest bedroom add even more functionality to this charming home. Amenities include: Thermopane windows, a newer furnace (only 3 years old), cast iron recessed radiators, one-car garage and large walk-up floored attic provide ample storage solutions. Wonderful location moments away from parks, playgrounds, schools, shops, and more!
