About This Home
As of July 2025From the moment you pull up, this home delivers. This 4 bed/2.5 bath ranch with a finished partial basement sits on a double lot & offers plenty of space inside & out. One of its biggest value-adds is the unfinished second floor: partially framed for three more bedrooms, with most of the heavy lifting already done. Just finish it & unlock serious equity. The main level features a light-filled open floor plan, hardwood floors, & a spacious living room with a gas fireplace. The kitchen offers a breakfast bar & all stainless appliances, & it flows into the dining area with direct access to the enclosed 3-season porch, which is heated with gas for extended use. The primary bedroom has direct access to the backyard, adding privacy & convenience. The basement provides flexible space for work, play, or guests, plus the 4th bedroom. Outside, the backyard is a standout: brick paver patio, firepit deck, & three powered storage sheds: two 7x7 units with 120v power, & one 12x16 wood shed with a 60-amp 220v panel and gas line. Fully fenced with a 6-foot cedar privacy fence. Every inch of this property is ready to work for you. ***UPDATES: See "List of Improvements" document under Additional Info tab.***
