Some homes are built. Others become part of a family's story. This is the kind of home you remember for the rest of your life. The stately red two-story sitting on two lots, that belongs in a movie. The home where bikes line the driveway, holiday dinners spill into the formal dining room, birthday candles are blown out around the breakfast table, and generations gather long after the children are grown. Lovingly owned by one family since it was custom built by George Crank, this is a residence that has been meticulously maintained, thoughtfully updated, and deeply cherished. Inside, you'll find five spacious bedrooms, three full baths, a powder bath, multiple living spaces, a formal dining room, and a breakfast area designed for everyday moments that become lifelong memories. The kitchen has been beautifully refreshed with new granite, while every bathroom has been completely remodeled with new showers, updated plumbing, and new pressure-assisted commodes that remain under warranty. Step outside and you'll immediately understand why homes like this rarely become available. Mature landscaping surrounds the property, creating a setting that feels established rather than manufactured. A private water well keeps the grounds lush year-round, supported by a fully serviced sprinkler system with replaced sprinkler heads. An insulated greenhouse offers endless possibilities for gardening enthusiasts. Also, a private apartment provides exceptional flexibility, ideal for multigenerational living, visiting guests, a home office, or valuable rental income. The care invested in this home extends far beyond what meets the eye. The guest apartment features a new mini-split system. Homes like this aren't defined by square footage alone. They're defined by the life they make possible. If you've been searching for the kind of neighborhood where children still ride bikes until dusk, neighbors know each others name, and a house true becomes a family's legacy, you've just found it.
