    What's special

    We will not work with a realtor. If interested, please contact us directly. This well-kept ranch is in a great location on a low traffic street close to schools, bike trails, parks and grocery stores. A straight shot down Grand will take you downtown and a straight shot up Ashworth will take you to Jordan Creek. The house is shaded with mature trees, but gets lots of indoor sunlight. It has new windows and new wiring. The kitchen and bathroom were remodeled in 2011. Off the kitchen is a large pantry with wire shelving. Cork flooring in the kitchen and bathroom is warm and very easy to keep clean. Master bedroom has ample closet space with two large closets, plus a third accessible in the hallway, all with wire shelving. A full basement has lots of storage space, a 3/4 bathroom, large laundry area, and large finished room that can serve as a playroom, family room or non-conforming bedroom. The 2.5 car garage has a storage area on the side plus a full workbench area at the back with working windows and doors. The fenced backyard backs up to a school and has a big treehouse with two decks, a zipline and a swing. A terrific neighborhood with wonderful neighbors.

    This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
