About This Home

New Listing!
Charming 1977 Ranch offering 1,885 square feet of living space with a desirable 2-car attached garage. This spacious home sits on 1.03 acres in a convenient location close to town, yet with plenty of room to enjoy privacy and outdoor living. Step inside to a large, open kitchen designed for functionality and gatherings, complete with an abundance of cupboards, a center island, and a pantry for extra storage. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the living room, where a wood stove insert provides both warmth and a cozy atmosphere.
Featuring 3 comfortable bedrooms, including a primary suite with its own full bath, this home is designed with both space and comfort in mind. The first-floor laundry adds convenience, eliminating trips up and down stairs. Natural light fills the living areas, highlighting the open layout and making the home feel bright and welcoming.
Outside, the property offers plenty of room for gardening, entertaining, or simply enjoying the peaceful setting. With over an acre of land, a spacious yard, and mature trees, it's a wonderful balance of convenience and tranquility. Whether you're looking for a move-in ready home or one you can update with your own personal touches, this property has endless potential.
A solid home with a great location—close to shopping, schools, and local amenities—this ranch offers the best of both worlds: comfort, convenience, and room to grow.!
