About This Home
As of June 2025Spacious Opportunity - Versatile Raised Ranch with In-Law Suite! For over half a century, this home was more than just a house; it was a home that grew with its family. It began as a classic raised ranch, with hardwood floors, sunlight filtering through the living room window, and laughter echoing down the hallway. The three bedrooms on the main floor were once filled with bedtime stories, and sleepy goodnights. The full bath handled the hustle of morning routines and long soaks after a busy day. But as the family grew, so did the home. An in-law addition was thoughtfully created-not just a room or two, but a spacious, self-contained retreat. With its private entrance, expansive great room, large eat-in kitchen, full bath, and bedroom, it offered comfort and independence without being far from the heartbeat of the home. It became a place where multiple generations shared their lives together, where out-of-town visitors found a second home, and where every holiday felt just a little bigger, a little brighter. The screened-in deck out back became a favorite gathering place-bug-free summer dinners, quiet morning coffees, and family barbecues that spilled into the level, green backyard. And when the colder months came, the inside welcomed everyone with warmth, especially in the lower-level great room. Now, for the first time in nearly 50 years, this beloved home is ready for its next chapter!
