    What's special

    Rear deckComfortable user-friendly layoutThree main-floor bedroomsNewer windowsVinyl sidingPeaceful countryside viewsSteel roof
    Nestled on a quiet street along the north edge of town, this charming three-bedroom, two-bathroom ranch offers peaceful countryside views and a comfortable, user-friendly layout. With thoughtful updates throughout and plenty of functional living space, this home is ready for its next owner. As you enter from the heated double-stall attached garage, you’ll find a well-appointed kitchen featuring birch cabinets, new countertops, and a new sink, all updated in 2022. The kitchen is complemented by stainless steel appliances, also installed new in 2022. The adjacent dining area provides a comfortable space for everyday meals while offering plenty of room when entertaining larger groups. The spacious living room has a bright, open feel thanks to a large bay window and a newer exterior door featuring a large window with internal mini blinds for added privacy. All three main-floor bedrooms are conveniently located along the back side of the home, along with a full bathroom. The basement provides even more usable space, including a generously sized family room, laundry room, and an additional bedroom. This basement bedroom is considered non-conforming because it does not have an egress window. The flooring in this area can be finished to suit the new owner’s style and preferences. An unfinished portion of the basement offers plenty of additional potential, whether you envision another bedroom, recreation room, home office, or hobby space. The current owners have completed numerous updates over the years, including newer windows, vinyl siding, a steel roof, and a heat pump paired with a gas forced-air furnace. Outside, you’ll appreciate the rear deck and a large new shed with convenient alley access, providing excellent additional storage. Average monthly utilities: City of Sanborn for gas, electric, water, sewer, trash & recycling $235.00
