    Welcome to this beautifully updated Fairmeadows ranch home, radiating charm and curb appeal. The exterior features new siding with a stone front, beautifully accented by vibrant phlox and a stunning redbud tree every spring. Natural light floods the living room through the large picture window, showing off the hardwood floors. Plenty of room to enjoy meals together in the dining area adjacent to the updated kitchen which features ample cabinetry, a stylish backsplash, and newer GE appliances all included. There are three bedrooms on the main floor all with hardwood floors and an updated full bath with pocket door. Relax in the three season porch or rear deck, perfect spots to unwind, barbeque and enjoy the outdoors. The finished lower level offers plenty of additional living space, including a 4th bedroom, family room, ¾ bath, laundry area, and non-conforming 5th bedroom. The fenced rear yard ensures privacy and safety for kids and pets. This home also features new roof and some new windows. Conveniently located near schools, bike trails, and Valley Junction with easy access to I-235 for a smooth commute. With its prime location and numerous updates, this ranch home is a must-see.
