About This Home

This expansive 2,100-square-foot ranch is a rare fine with a private location and a layout designed for effortless living. Situated on a 1.4-acre lot within the Union Springs School District, this property provides the space and privacy often sought but rarely found in this price point. The interior features original hardwood floors and a wood-burning fireplace that creates a grounded, comfortable atmosphere. Recent refreshes to the kitchen and bedrooms offer a modern aesthetic. For those requiring additional space, the full basement provides over 1,200 square feet of untapped potential—ideal for a workshop, home gym, or secondary living area. The outdoor amenities are equally substantial. The backyard is a quiet, park-like setting featuring a swimming pool, hot tub, and a spacious patio for seasonal gatherings. Three separate sheds provide organized storage. Comfort is maintained year-round with a suite of updated mechanicals, including on-demand hot water, a whole-house fan, and high-efficiency split-mini units for heating and cooling. Practical features like the attached garage and public water access round out this move-in-ready residence. Please note that the back porch has been painted since photos were taken, and the square footage is calculated from blueprints and measurements. Schedule your visit to experience this tranquil setting firsthand.
