About This Home

As of April 2025

Welcome to this charming ranch home with great potential! This property features 3 bedrooms, 2.0 bathrooms, and a 2 car garage. The original owners are selling as-is, providing a fantastic opportunity for the new owners to make it their own. Upon entering, you will find a formal living room with a cozy fireplace that flows into the dining room. The kitchen is conveniently adjacent to the family room, offering a great opportunity to create a grand kitchen/great room combo by removing the walls between the dining, kitchen, and family room. The primary bedroom is spacious and boasts its own bath, walk-in closet, additional double closet, and linen closet. The finished basement provides over 800 sq feet of additional living space, adding to the versatility of this home. Original hardwood floors are waiting to be uncovered beneath the wall-to-wall carpet that has been in place since day one. A screened porch off the kitchen provides a peaceful retreat with views of the large wooded lot that backs to woods, offering privacy with neighbors in the far distance. Recent updates include a 4-year-old roof, AC, and heat pump, as well as half of the windows replaced with Andersens. Located in the sought-after Red Clay School District with access to the coveted North Star Elementary feeder, this home is sure to attract families looking for top-notch education options. Additionally, the neighborhood offers a rarely available pool, adding to the appeal of this property.
