Situated in a peaceful neighborhood, this well maintained 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath ranch-style home offers an ideal blend of comfort, functionality, and low-maintenance living. It's a great fit for first-time home buyers, downsizers, or anyone seeking a move-in-ready home in a prime location. Inside, you'll find the living area filled with natural light. The kitchen features solid surface countertops, ample cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances—including a newer electric range, hood fan, and countertop microwave. Just off the kitchen, the updated main-floor laundry room includes a half bath with new flooring, a modern vanity, and light fixtures. Both main-floor bedrooms are generously sized at 13' x 12'. One has been thoughtfully updated with a sliding glass door leading out to a new deck and a fully fenced backyard—perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The main-floor bathroom has also been refreshed with a walk-in shower and updated flooring.

Additional features installed in 2018 include: SolaceAir 403H UV Light with Ozone, SolaceAir Electronic Air Cleaning Filter, sump pump with battery backup, Caresoft Water Softener, Impressions Series Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water System, new exterior doors and storm doors. In 2021, the home was outfitted with a new high-efficiency furnace. This well-cared-for property is being sold "as is", offering exceptional value and peace of mind.
