Charming and move-in ready, this adorable remodeled ranch offers stylish one-level living with modern updates throughout! Renovated in 2022, the open-concept kitchen flows seamlessly into the living area and features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and durable LVP flooring. The updated bathroom includes ceramic tile flooring, a sleek glass shower door, and contemporary finishes. Stackable washer and dryer convey for added convenience. Enjoy easy maintenance living with gutter guards, a cement driveway, and a spacious backyard perfect for relaxing, gardening, or entertaining. The large brick front porch adds warmth and curb appeal, creating the perfect spot for morning coffee or evening unwinding. Bonus potential in the future as the abandoned railroad tracks behind the home have plans for walking trails, adding even more charm and outdoor enjoyment to the area. A cute, comfortable home with modern touches and great outdoor space! We have priced it to sell. Older septic and needs to be permitted through the state. Price reflects future replacement.
