About This Home

As of July 2025

Offered for the first time, this 1960s rambler is the kind of home that invites you to settle in, stretch out, & make it your own. Step inside to new carpet underfoot, while a cozy wood-burning fireplace & a huge picture window anchor the living space w/ warmth and light. The layout offers a natural flow between living, dining, & kitchen areas, and just enough separation to create a sense of calm and privacy in the bedrooms. Outside, the yard is designed for low-maintenance living w/a sprinkler system & landscaping that can be enjoyed as-is or open up & customize. Oversized garage offers plenty of room to park, store, & create—with space for tools, gear, or that workbench you’ve always wanted. Primary suite w/ 3⁄4 bath, newer roof & sewer.
