Spacious ranch with nearly 1,500 SF featuring 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Step inside to a large living room with two generous bedrooms nearby and a tiled full bath between them. Sellers removed carpet to reveal the beautiful original hardwood floors beneath. The extra-large primary bedroom sits privately on the opposite side of the home. Toward the back, you'll find a bright kitchen and dining area with all appliances included. The basement offers multiple rooms, built-in storage, a ¾ bath, and an egress window; perfect for future finishing potential. Outside, enjoy the fully fenced 0.35-acre lot with a gardening area and an oversized 2-car garage offering over 700 SF. Updates include a new roof in 2017 and additional improvements noted on the seller's disclosure.
