About This Home

Perfect and hard-to-find, this beautifully updated 5-bedroom, 4-bath ranch home offers the ideal blend of space, comfort, and style! From the moment you arrive, the attractive mix of brick and vinyl siding, exceptional curb appeal, and beautifully maintained exterior will have you wanting to call this one home!
Inside, you'll appreciate the thoughtful updates and personal touches throughout, including solid-core doors, easy-maintenance flooring, and an ideal floor plan in a fantastic neighborhood where pride of homeownership shines. The kitchen opens seamlessly to the dining area and features a built-in range top, wall oven, dishwasher, and microwave - making it the perfect gathering place for family and friends. A spacious 600-square-foot addition completed in 2016 offers incredible flexibility and works beautifully as a family room, recreation area, theater room, or workout space. The private main-level primary suite provides comfort and convenience, complete with a spacious walk-in closet and beautifully designed bath.
The finished lower level beneath the addition expands the living space even further with a workout/family room, additional bedroom with egress, and a full bathroom. Additional updates include a newer HVAC system, roof, and select windows, making this home feel move-in ready and exceptionally well cared for. With very few homes offering this amount of space, functionality, and upgrades, this home checks all the boxes!
