    What's special

    Main-floor laundryEfficient single-level layoutConvenient front entry rampHardwood flooring
    Don't let the square footage fool you-this recently updated 2-bedroom, 1-bath ranch offers an exceptional combination of comfortable, low-maintenance living and an oversized 28' x 40' detached garage that is truly the standout feature of the property. The 788 sq. ft. home was completely remodeled in 2023 and features an efficient single-level layout, hardwood flooring, updated kitchen cabinetry and countertops, an updated bathroom with walk-in shower, main-floor laundry, and a convenient front entry ramp. All appliances are included, making this home ready for its next owner. Now for the garage: approximately 1,120 sq. ft. with room for up to six vehicles, offering possibilities rarely found with a home this size. Whether you're a car collector or automotive enthusiast, need space for motorcycles, ATVs, tools or a workshop, have been dreaming about the ultimate garage/man cave, or simply want an incredible amount of storage, this building gives you the room to do it. This property also offers some interesting flexibility. Live in the manageable, updated ranch and enjoy a garage that's actually larger than the house, or consider the property as an investment and potentially rent the residence while keeping the oversized garage for your own storage or hobby use. With a fully remodeled home, appliances included, single-level living and a 1,120 sq. ft. garage, this is a unique property that deserves a closer look. If you've been searching for a smaller home with a seriously big garage, this could be the one.
