About This Home

As of December 2025

Tucked into a peaceful wooded setting, this beautifully maintained home blends modern updates with natural charm. Featuring classic board and batten siding and nearly a half-acre lot, the property offers a private retreat feel just minutes from downtown Ephrata.

The home offers 2 full baths and 1 half bath, along with fresh paint and thoughtful updates throughout. The bright sunroom, added to the back, features vaulted ceilings and opens to a lovely patio and an upper-level deck—perfect for relaxing or entertaining among the trees. A two car garage with an epoxy-coated floor adds both style and function. If you’ve been searching for a move-in-ready home with character, comfort, and a scenic backdrop, this one is not to be missed!
