Description
This beautifully maintained ranch offers over 1,900 sq. ft. of living space, a fenced backyard, and a half-circle driveway leading to an oversized 2-car garage with attic storage.
The updated kitchen features quartz countertops, under-cabinet lighting, tile backsplash, undermount sink, and stainless steel appliances. The main hall bath showcases a stunning tiled shower, while Renewal by Andersen windows throughout—including a massive shatter-proof picture window—fill the home with natural light.
The primary suite easily accommodates a king bed and includes two closets plus a private bath. Several rooms feature hardwood floors, and the seller believes hardwood runs beneath much of the home’s flooring. Additional highlights include a walk-in pantry, mudroom with main-floor laundry, and a versatile bonus room ideal for a rec room, playroom, or home office.
With just a touch of TLC, this home offers exceptional potential in one of Adel’s most desirable locations.
