Spacious Ranch with Finished-Potential Basement & Great Location Welcome to this spacious 3 bedroom ranch home offering a practical floor plan, generous living spaces, and excellent potential to make the home your own. The main level features a bright living and dining area with vaulted ceilings and an exposed wood beam, creating an open and inviting feel. The kitchen offers white cabinetry, a new stove and a large eat-in area with additional cabinetry and countertop space overlooking the backyard. The primary suite includes a private full bathroom and nice closet space. The full ready to be finished basement provides an excellent opportunity for additional living space, recreation, a home office, or storage. The opportunity to add a bedroom is there with an egress window nicely placed for this addition. A bathroom is already roughed in, metal framing is in place, and a supply of drywall is included and ready to be installed, providing a head start on finishing the space. Important major updates include a 2022 furnace and air conditioning system with transferable warranty, newer windows, and a newer roof. Outside, the fenced backyard offers privacy and includes a brick paver patio and plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors. The 2.5-car garage provides additional parking and storage. Located just minutes from the marina, beach, community pool, parks, and other area amenities, this home offers a great opportunity to add your personal touches while benefiting from important updates already in place. With a spacious layout, substantial basement potential, and major mechanical updates, this ranch is ready for its next chapter.
