Welcome home to this well-maintained, newly updated ranch nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac in the sought-after Willowbrook development. Ideally located within walking distance of Willowbrook Elementary and Phoenix Park, this home offers the perfect blend of comfort, style, and convenience.
Designed for easy main-level living, this inviting home features an open-concept floor plan with a spacious vaulted great room that flows seamlessly into the main living areas, creating an ideal space for both everyday living and entertaining.

The finished lower level expands your living space with a large family room, a three-quarter bathroom, a third bedroom, and a non-conforming fourth bedroom.
