About This Home

As of July 2026

This one-owner ranch sits on a beautiful 1/2-acre lot at the edge of town, offering sweeping country views and a peaceful backdrop of mature trees and natural vegetation. With 1,237 finished square feet on the main level, the home features 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and an attached 2-car garage. Fresh paint throughout, new carpet, and updated baths create a move-in-ready feel. The kitchen and dining areas flow to sliding doors that open to a second-story deck overlooking the picturesque backyard—an ideal spot for morning coffee or evening unwinding. The lower level provides incredible potential with full exposure, two full-size windows, and a wide-open layout. It’s a perfect blank canvas for a future family room, rec room, home office, craft space, workout area, or additional bedrooms—whatever fits your needs. Additional updates include a newer garage door, water heater 2025, roof and siding in 2015. A rare combination of small-town convenience and country serenity. Come see how you can make this home yours!
