About This Home

Welcome home to a sprawling ranch situated in a purely residential area, and wrapped in a caring community. This home is truly move-in ready! Walk into a spacious living room area that features luxury vinyl flooring, recessed lighting, warm wall colors and a bay area window that allows natural sunlight to pour into your home, and your heart. The living room area is perfect for entertaining and relaxing and, more so, it opens up to an incredible kitchen with 42" white shaker style cabinets, polished chrome hardware, stainless steel appliances and a remarkable Calacatta quartz countertop that spreads itself along a kitchen peninsula as well. The kitchen is the nucleus of this home. Wash your dishes and peek out of your kitchen window and gaze out into your huge yard, and watch those you love most run around amuck: kids, family and pets; or, pull up a few stools and enjoy that meal on your peninsula or set that breakfast table under a dazzling glass chandelier as you look out into your yard via a sliding glass door. This home is intelligently and functionally designed with three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Each bedroom is spacious with ample closet space. The full bathroom off the hallway is immaculately dressed with a modern tub, textured tiles that bling, large format tiles, a clean lined pedestal sink and an all-metal mirror that adds just the right touch. And, then, the primary bedroom! It is perfect. The primary bedroom is nestled in its own world and it features a full bathroom for that added privacy and convenience; the primary bathroom dazzles with a stand-up shower decorated with polished, large format tiles, a pedestal sink and a classy vibe. Wrap up your day on your patio and beautify your yard with more flowers and, then, store everything in your shed. Let us mention the location of this house: it is incredible! There is a walking trail across the street, hang out at Memorial Park or Armstrong Park, walk to Jay Stream Middle School and grab some sushi at Kinta Sushi and, of course, there is so much more. This home is a 10!!! Show and sell.
