About This Home
Tucked away on a quiet dead-end street, this rambling ranch offers the rare feeling of country living on nearly an acre, yet it's only minutes from shopping, dining, and transportation. Inside, you'll find two generously sized bedrooms including a 14' x 12' primary suite along with a large living room, dining room, and mudroom. A sunlit four-seasons room opens onto two decks, perfect for enjoying the natural setting. The property also includes a shed and an oversized two-car garage with 220 amp service and pass-through doors, making it ideal for projects, hobbies, or extra storage. If you've been looking for a place with good bones, plenty of space, and a setting that feels like home the moment you arrive, this is your opportunity.
