About This Home

As of September 2024

Idyllic Garden Oasis in Fabulous Neighborhood. Desirable 3BR, 3BA ranch home offers privacy, convenience, and space. You can see the expansive flat acre with stunning gardens, mature trees, and native plantings as you enter via the gravel drive. The home is centrally situated on the sunny lot. It boasts solar panels, solar water boosted heater, on-demand water heater, and an EV charger, improvements both practical and ecologically sound. As one enters the home, there is a sunny open living room on the left with hardwood floors, expansive windows, and a fireplace with insert; the formal dining room lies to the right and leads into the large kitchen. Behind lie two bedrooms, one of which is ensuite, another full bath is at the end of the hallway. Above is a bonus room used as an office which attaches to the spacious attic for storage. On the other side of the kitchen is a large mudroom that connects the two-car garage and the front and back yards. Above the garage is an expansive primary with an ensuite bath and a stunning solarium. The true beauty of this level acre is how carefully it has been cultivated with native plants - it is part of the Pollinator Pathway, attracting butterflies, bees, and birds. The list of spectacular plantings is too great to post. The property has stunning native gardens, fruit trees, apple varieties, pear, and cherry, vegetable and fruit gardens, and a grape arbor. Over 25 years of care created these stunning perennial gardens.
