A Perfect First Home in a Friendly, Established Neighborhood
Welcome to this charming brick rancher—an ideal place to start your homeownership journey. Featuring three bedrooms and one full bathroom, this well-maintained home offers comfortable, easy one-level living in a warm and welcoming neighborhood.
Inside, you’ll love the bright, open feel created by abundant natural light and newly refinished hardwood floors throughout. The spacious living room is highlighted by a large picture window and provides plenty of room for relaxing, entertaining friends, or cozy nights at home.
The three bedrooms offer flexibility for a growing family, a home office, or guest space. The eat-in kitchen includes a dedicated dining area and breakfast nook, along with ample cabinet storage and all the essentials—an electric range, over-the-range microwave, refrigerator, and ceiling fan—making everyday living simple and convenient.
A combined laundry and mudroom comes complete with a washer and dryer and additional storage, adding to the home’s practical layout. Outside, the low-maintenance brick exterior and large lot provide peace of mind and space to enjoy outdoor activities. The fully fenced backyard is perfect for pets, playtime, or weekend gatherings.
A detached garage with a workshop offers extra storage, workspace, and attic space—great for hobbies or future projects.
Central heating and air conditioning ensure year-round comfort.
