Set on a landscaped corner lot with mature trees, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath ranch blends thoughtful updates, flexible living space, and a backyard made for staying awhile. Fresh exterior paint, a new roof, extended driveway, additional carport, and freshly re-stained deck give the exterior a major refresh, while inside, warm LVP floors pair with original oak hardwoods in the bedrooms for the perfect modern-meets-traditional feel. The main floor offers a welcoming living room with vaulted ceiling, dining space off the granite-countertop kitchen, plus a spacious bonus room ready for a second living area, formal dining room, playroom, or reading room. Downstairs adds another family room with built-ins, fourth bedroom with egress, bathroom, laundry, storage, and even more room to spread out. The backyard might just make your home "the spot" with a large above-ground pool, freshly stained deck, fully fenced yard, and mature landscaping ready for pool days, grill nights, and gatherings that go longer than planned. Add an oversized two-car garage, attached shed, extra parking, and main-floor laundry, and this one is equal parts fun, functional, and ready to enjoy.
