About This Home
As of July 2025Step into this classic mid-century ranch, lovingly cared for by the same family since it was built in 1958. Full of character and charm, this single-story gem features newly refinished original hardwood floors that flow through much of the main level. The kitchen offers solid wood cabinetry with timeless appeal, an eat-in dining area, and a brick facade accent wall. A formal dining room adds flexibility as it can easily serve as a third main-level bedroom.
A sun-filled addition offers the perfect setting for gathering with family & friends or quiet mornings with a view of the back yard. Finished lower level expands your living space with a rec area, 3⁄4 bath, and two additional rooms, each with recently installed egress windows.
Outside, the fenced backyard has long been home to flourishing gardens and mature grapevines that have produced decades of homemade jelly and are still thriving today.
This treasured home is ready to welcome new owners to continue its legacy and create cherished memories for years to come. All information obtained from seller and public records.
