WANTED: New homeowner willing to continue the tender loving care this 1960's ranch home has always been given. If you respect architectural integrity, you'll appreciate the vintage feel this home provides. The only big change is the height of the trees in this quiet n'hood. The hardwood floors in the living room have just been revealed for the very first time. The trim, throughout the upper level, is in it's original state; never touched with a paint brush. Even the eat-in kitchen is original. The lower level offers a great family room with pool table, a fantastic office, a partial bath, laundry area, workshop and plenty of storage. Furnace and CA were newly installed in 2017. A three season porch offers a place to enjoy the outdoors in comfort, under cover. The back yard is fully fenced. With one wall and a garage door, the carport becomes a garage. This is a special place to call HOME.
