Meticulously clean, well maintained 4 bed, 2 1/2 bath rambler home on large lot with chain link fenced back yard. Highly sought after location at the edge of town. SPECIAL ATTENTION TO UPGRADES: High efficiency furnace and new air conditioner with heat exchanger completed in 2024. The front yard has new black dirt and grass with new front concrete sidewalk all completed in 2025. It was necessary due to new sewer service installed from house foundation to city street connection in 2023. House exterior paint in 2021. Additional updates include: Water heater in 2022, some kitchen appliances as well as interior paint. Property offers attached insulated 20x24 garage and detached 24x32 (with 6"walls) garage. Plenty of space for all the kids bikes and toys, lawn mowers and big boy toys, even space to park that classic car. Ramp in the attached garage is handy to move those seasonal and stored treasures from garage into the house. 10x16 sun porch on the north side of the house is great for morning coffee and entertaining guests. Keep the grass green and flowers blooming with sand point well in lower level used for landscape only. This property is a must see, don't miss the opportunity.
