About this House
Welcome home to this beautifully updated 2-bedroom, 1-bath ranch that checks all the right boxes. Step inside to find refinished hardwood floors that bring warmth and character throughout the main living spaces. The fully updated kitchen with appliances and a fresh, modern design—perfect for everyday living or hosting friends without apologizing for your cabinets.
Both bedrooms offer comfortable space and natural light, while the updated bathroom keeps things crisp and functional. Outside, enjoy your morning coffee or summer evenings on the brand-new deck overlooking the yard—ideal for grilling, relaxing, or letting the dog judge your landscaping skills.
The detached garage adds extra storage and convenience, and the recent updates mean you can move in without a long to-do list (because nobody buys a house to start a full renovation on day one).
