Tucked away on nearly an acre, this charming property offers a rare blend of space, privacy, and convenience. Step inside to an open and airy layout that welcomes you with a generous living and dining area—perfect for entertaining or everyday comfort. A large deck extends the living space outdoors. The kitchen has been tastefully updated with new flooring, countertops, and a stylish backsplash. Just off the kitchen, you'll find the laundry area. Both bathrooms have been refreshed with modern updates, while the primary suite offers a retreat of its own—complete with a private deck. Downstairs, the walkout basement features brand-new flooring and fresh paint, plus a non-conforming 4th bedroom and a half bath—ideal for guests, a home office, or bonus living space. The expansive backyard opens up endless possibilities: envision a future pool, space for equipment or toys, or even your own pickleball or basketball court. It’s surprisingly private for an in-town location and just minutes from downtown, the airport, and Gray’s Lake.
