About This Home

As of April 2018

JUST RIGHT!! Oh, Wow. Rare Complete Ranch Rebuild gives all the right space in all the right places. Roof was raised for 8ft doors and 10ft or vaulted ceilings on the main level. Wonderful Kitchen overlooks private level backyard & opens to Keeping Room which flows onto the Screened Porch. Master Suite was enlarged with spa bath and two closets. Basement Level has been finished to include a home office or 5th bedroom. Not many homes like this around! Split backyard with sep. dog area. Want to right size with fresh one-level living and not give up location?? THIS is it!
