About This Home

As of July 2025

Tucked away on 2.5 wooded acres, this 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom ranch presents a peaceful country life mixed with high-end features! Step inside to a bright, open floor plan with a panoramic picture window and gorgeous hand-scraped hardwood floors. The kitchen is an absolute chef’s kiss—complete with quartz countertops, stainless steel GE appliances, a porcelain farmhouse sink, and a walk-in pantry that’s straight out of your dreams. The primary suite is more like a retreat with a spa-like bathroom that's complete with a clawfoot tub. The walkout basement provides even more space with a cozy, fireplaced family room, a full bathroom with a walk-in shower, and two additional bedrooms. Everyday living is made easy with main-floor laundry, a functional mudroom, newer windows, a high-efficiency furnace, A/C, water heater, and a premium filtration system already in place. This one is the total package!
