    Finished lower levelGenerous quarter-acre lotLarge family roomCrown moldingOversized two-car detached garageFully fenced backyardNew front porch
    Don’t miss this exceptional opportunity to own a beautifully maintained 4-bedroom, 2-bath ranch home offering over 1,700 square feet of finished living space. Set on a generous quarter-acre lot, this home combines comfort, functionality, and thoughtful updates throughout. The main level features a bright and spacious living room with a large bay window, a well-appointed kitchen with stainless steel appliances, ample counter space, and a dining area that opens to a newly built, expansive covered deck—perfect for entertaining or relaxing year-round. Three generously sized bedrooms and an updated full bath, complete with a new sink and countertop, complete the main floor. The primary bedroom includes crown molding, a ceiling fan, and dual closets with custom metal shelving. The finished lower level offers incredible versatility and is ideal for guests, a roommate, or multi-generational living. It showcases a large family room, a fourth bedroom, a three-quarter bath with linen closet, and a spacious laundry room with plenty of storage. Recent upgrades include a new furnace, air conditioner, and water heater—all replaced within the past three years—along with newer double-hung windows, new front porch, keyless entry & radon mitigation system. The oversized two-car detached garage provides additional storage space, and the fully fenced backyard enhances both privacy and functionality. A water softener is included, and the freezer is negotiable with the sale.
