Inside, hardwood floors grace many of the main living areas, creating warmth and timeless appeal. The inviting family room features a cozy fireplace, while the spacious floor plan includes a large laundry room and a walk-out basement that offers abundant space for entertaining, guests, hobbies, or a home office.

Thoughtful updates include a new roof in 2019 and many replacement windows, offering peace of mind for years to come. Combining solid brick construction, a premium pond-view location, desirable ranch living, and quality updates, this exceptional Cedar Crossing home is one you won't want to miss.
